contibuted by: mes3sl@surrey.ac.uk (Shaun Lawson) ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR by Oasis (well .. Noel Gallagher) =================== from "Definitely Maybe" Its taken me ages to figure out that he goes to Ab at the bridge type bit (pre-chorus). He throws in these unexpected chords fairly often it seems (see the Supersonic transcription at OLGA which is fine except it goes to D not E on the chorus as is written). Most (if not all) of the chords are barred, the B at the 7th and theres a lot of taking off of the barre (fore) finger so it adds an E and an A. Other than that just turn up the overdrive. intro: B (mess around) then B A->E B B I live my life in the city - there's no easy way out A E B The days moving just too fast for me, B Need some time in the sunshhyynnnnne - gotta slow it right down A E B The days moving just too fast for me. Ab E I live my life for the stars that shine B People say its just a waste of time Ab E When they said I should just feed my head B That to me was just a day in bed Ab E I'll take my car and drive real far B To where they're not concerned about the way we are A In my mind my dreams are real F# Are you concerned about the way I feel ? A E B To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star A E B To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star A E B To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star. Then: repeat the whole of above until : To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star A E B To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star. A Are you down with who I am E Look at you'll now you're all in my hands - tonight. solo: over verse chords (B A E) To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star. Then at the end there is a bit of a free-for-all - it goes first to an A (slide up from G) then I *think* it is E (fingered at 1st fret) and an E shape slid up two frets (so a sort of F#) - I may be wrong on this bit though - so any takers ? ************************************************************************** * Shaun Lawson email: s.lawson@surrey.ac.uk * ************************************************************************** * Mechatronic Systems & Robotics Research Group * * Dept. of Mechanical Engineering * * University of Surrey tel: (01483) 259681 * * Guildford UK fax: (01483) 306039 * * GU2 5XH www: http://robots.surrey.ac.uk/ * **************************************************************************
