D------7------------7-------|
A---0------------5----------|

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 !!!

{c: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
{soc}
{c:chorus:}
It`s a R[G5]ock and [D/F#]Roll damn[A5]ation
[G5]ma`s own [D/F#]whipping b[A5]oy
[G5]rock and [D/F#]roll damn[A5]ation
[D5]take a chance
[E5]while you still got a choice
{eoc}
{npp}
{c: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
{soc}
{c: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
{eoc}
{soc}
{c:Chorus:}
It`s a R[G5]ock and [D/F#]Roll damn[A5]ation
[G5]ma`s own [D/F#]whipping b[A5]oy
[G5]rock and [D/F#]roll damn[A5]ation
[D5]take a chance
[D5]while you still got a choice
{eoc}
{sot}
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 !!
