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 ? From Fred Lidskog <swede@email.unc.edu> Rock n' Roll Star, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis. Song can be found on the album "Definitely Maybe". Chords used: EADGBe B (x24442) C#m (x46654) A (x02220) G#m (466444) E (022100) F# (244322) There is a riff played along with the "B" chord in the intro and verses that I can't, for the life of me, play so it sounds EXACTLY like the record, but below is an attempt that sounds close. The tab below is played in ALL the verses in the song, as well as during the "B" chord in the chorus. Here goes: b=bend (3b4 means bend the string at the 3rd fret to make the note that the string would make if it was played at the 4th fret without bending.)
