Rock and Roll Damnation – AC/DC
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 !!!
