! and fun to play.
! The intro arrpeggios are played over the chords and .
> A D
[E---------------------------|
B----------8------------7---|
B--------9------------7-----| } 2 times
D------7------------7-------|
A---0------------5----------|
E---------------------------|]
! The main riff is rock and roll itself. Perhaps one of the
! most used rock rythyms going - it still sounds fresh on this
! album - even in 1994!!
> A
[E---------------------------------------|
B------3--3-po-2-----3-3-po-2-----------|

! lyrics:
verse: y' say that that you play too loud
well baby that's tough
y'say that you got too much
can't get enough
tell you that you look a fool
baby I'm a fool for you
say that you're my disease
well, shake your stuff
> G5 D/F# A5
chorus: It's a Rock and Roll damnation
> G5 D/F## A5
ma's own whipping boy
> G5 D/F# A5
rock and roll damnation
> D5
take a chance
> E5
while you still got a choice
verse2: you say that you want respect
honey grow up
everything that you've done for me
well thanks a lot
c'mon, get up off your bended knees
y'can, set your mind at ease
my temperature's running hot
and I've been waiting all night for a bite of what
you've got, and
Chorus: Intro section over the lyrics:
just a boy with a toy (???)
come on and take your choice
cos you're way out of reach
living in your sin you gotta practise what you preach
> G5 D/F# A5
Chorus: It's a Rock and Roll damnation
> G5 D/F## A5
ma's own whipping boy
> G5 D/F# A5
rock and roll damnation
! (not this time)
take a chance
> D5
while you still got a choice
! Back to the main riff for the solo which I can't get to
! sound right - but I know that just as the vocals come
! back in the solo is playing something like:
[E-----------17------------
B---------------------17--
G---16b-16b---16b-16b----- repeatedly.
D-------------------------
A-------------------------
E-------------------------]
! try messing around with this. It's easier to stumble across
! by playing than writing it down!!
! Finally, the chords and are the standard AC/DC stuff
! note no major or minor tonalities
[E---x------x--
B---3------3--
G---0------2--
D---0------0--
A---x------0--
E---3------2--]
! I hope you enjoy it!!!
! Rock and Rooooollllllllllllllllllll
