Arguably the most underrated Rolling Stones tune ever, it's on Flowers and More Hot Rocks. There is also a crappy version with strings, I think that's on Metamorphosis? If I remember correctly, you can also hear this song in the film Coming Home. It opens with some memorable marimba from Brian Jones, simple I-V-IV pattern, G-D-C-D. A memorable chorus, with nice organ riffs from Ian Stewart.
Lyrically, it describes a girl who left Mick then wants him back, but she's too late. Its use in Coming Home reflected the observations of many Vietnam vets who returned home to find a country that had changed dramatically in its feelings about the war.
