Rock N Roll Damnation by Ac Dc
AC/DC \"Rock and Roll Damnation\"
from Powerage album
Ok this is one of my favourite AC/DC tracks. It\'s easy
and fun to play.
The intro arrpeggios are played over the chords A and D.
(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-----------|
G------2--2----2-----2-2----2-----------|
D------4 -4-po-2-----4-4-po-2-----------|
A---0--0--0----0--0--0-0----0--3-4-0----|
E---------------------------------------|
po = pull off
Try experimenting with this rythym until you get the
right feel. IT IS FUN !!!
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
chorus:
(G5) (D/F#) (A5)
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
Chorus:
(G5) (D/F#) (A5)
It\'s a Rock and Roll damnation
(G5) (D/F#) (A5)
ma\'s own whipping boy
(G5) (D/F#) (A5)
rock and roll damnation
(G5) [ not (D) 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 (G) and (D/F#) are the standard AC/DC stuff
(G) (D/F#) 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 Rooooolllllllllllllllllllll !!!
