Taylor) - tab as recorded by Queen on the album "The Game" somewhat transcribed by Egils Kaljo (kaljoe@rpi.edu) This song is almost all power chords - for the rythm - listen to the song This tab is hardly complete - I haven't gotten the solo yet, and, when playing through this, you find any mistakes, please let me know so I can revise it... I'm also not completely sure of the lyrical order... Anyway... these are chords you will need to know. E (full) -0- B (full) -2- F# (full) -1- C# (full) -4- -0- -4- -1- -6- -1- -4- -2- -6- -2- -4- -3- -6- -2- -2- -3- -4- -0- -2- -1- -4- To make the power chord - just don't play the first three strings. In the beginning part, it is all arpeggiated chords (they are all the "full" chords) B E When I hear, that rock and roll F# It gets down to my soul, B F# When it's real rock and roll, oh rock and roll (Repeat) (Power chord section) B B Oh Oh... Oh Oh... F# You really think they like to rock in space? Well I don't know. B What do you know? What do you hear? F# On the radio. Coming through the air. B F# I said Mama, I ain't crazy, I'm all right... all right... C# Hey c'mon baby said it's all right, to rock and roll on a Saturday night, F# I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me, E B Said come baby down, come and rock with me, I said yeah... B What do you do, to get to feel alive, F# You go downtown, and get some of that prime jive, B F# I said Mama, I ain't crazy, I'm all right... all right... C# Hey c'mon baby said it's all right, to rock and roll on a Saturday night, F# I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me, E B Said come baby down, come and rock with me, I said yeah... We're gonna rock it... (solo) C# Hey c'mon baby said it's all right, to rock and roll on a Saturday night, F# I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me, E B Said come baby down, come and rock with me, I said yeah... We're gonna rock it... Tonight F# (We want some prime jive) Oh oh oh B (We want some prime jive) Oh oh oh oh oh rock it tonight... and it is F# -> B ad infinitum (or at least, until the end)
