You'll hear it plain enough. Just after the opening chord, you can hear a 12 string acoustic.
Bowie was with the Stones quite a lot during the sessions and even decided to use the same artist they'd chosen for their cover artwork. So, just after It's Only Rock n Roll, Bowie came out with the Diamond Dogs album, with cover painted by Guy Peelaert. Jagger commented that Bowie would "Steal your shoes" if you weren't looking.
Here's another bit of trivia for you...
Rod Stewart makes an uncredited appearance on Diamond Dogs. The song opens with a recording of a live show, and shortly before the music begins, you hear someone shout "hey!" into the mic. That's Rod Stewart, and it's taken from the album "Overture and Beginners". No idea if Bowie got permission and it's too late to ask now.
