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 The days moving E just too fast for B me,
B Need some time in the sunshhyynnnnne - gotta slow it right down
A The days moving E just too fast for B me.
I Ab live my life for the s E tars that shine
B People say its just a waste of time
Ab When they said I should just E feed my head
B That to me was just a day in bed
I'll Ab take my car and E drive real far
To where they're B 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 To- E night I'm a rock'n'roll B star
A To- E night I'm a rock'n'roll B star
A To- E night I'm a rock'n'roll B 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 To- E night I'm a rock'n'roll B 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 ?
