"Let It Bleed" is a song by rock 'n roll band The Rolling Stones. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and is featured on the 1969 album of the same name. The lyrics are highly suggestive, dealing mostly with sex and drugs, which might be the reason why it was never released as a single. However, the much more explicit "Brown Sugar" was released as a single.
"Sixth Stone" Ian Stewart plays piano on this track (his only appearance on the album) while Bill Wyman plays autoharp. Many believe that this song was a take on the Beatles' song/album Let It Be. The titles are very similar, and there was a running history of the Stones and the Beatles tweaking each other. The Stone's "Let It Bleed" was released months before "Let it Be," but most of the songs from Let It Be had been recorded earlier than most of the songs in Let It Bleed.
The song opens with a slide piece and quickly moves into a solo acoustic guitar strumming C, F, and G chords before bass, drums, and piano join in respectively.
