ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR by Oasis (well .. Noel Gallagher)
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
I live my life in the city - there's no easy way out
The days moving just too fast for me,
Need some time in the sunshhyynnnnne - gotta slow it right down
The days moving just too fast for me.
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say its just a waste of time
When they said I should just feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel ?
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: repeat the whole of above until :
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.
Are you down with who I am
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 ?
