You Can't Always Get What You Want...
I was driving from Atlanta to Richmond for Christmas yesterday and this classic Stones song played on the radio and I liked the acoustic part enough to want to learn it. It sounds easy enough. I started by playing C - Cadd9 - F with a hammer on the A note on the D string, then to D, etc. I was playing along with the studio recording on my iPad, and it sounded good, but like it was missing something. I searched YouTube and found a video of the Stones performing the song on the David Frost show in 1969 and it is obvious the Keith Richards is playing this in an open tuning with the capo on the fifth fret.
Does anyone know which tuning he uses? Open G maybe? Thanks, Jim

I think you answered your own question (or very nearly).
Open G with capo on 5 gives an open C chord, with the other chords easily available: Cadd9 = 000200 F(/C) = 002010 D = 222222 (BTW, apart from Jagger, the Stones are clearly miming on that TV recording, so don't go by Keef's chord shapes... he's obviously not caring what shapes he's hitting...)

Here are two versions from the same guy. I'm partial to the open E version.
