AC/DCRock and Roll Damnation
 



"Powerage"
Rock and Roll Damnation

Ok this is one of my favourite AC/DC tracks. It's easy
and fun to play.
The intro arrpeggios are played over the chords A  and D .
    A            D
E---------------------------|
B----------8------------7---|
B--------9------------7-----| } 2 times
D------7------------7-------|
A---0------------5----------|
E---------------------------|
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!!!

lyrics:
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

        G5      D/F#     A5
chorus:        It's a Rock and Roll damnation
G5       D/F##     A5
ma's own whipping boy
G5       D/F#     A5
rock and roll damnation
D5
take a chance
E5
while you still got a choice

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

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

        G5      D/F#     A5
Chorus:        It's a Rock and Roll damnation
G5       D/F##     A5
ma's own whipping boy
G5       D/F#     A5
rock and roll damnation
G5   (not D  this time)
take a chance
D5
while you still got a choice

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!!
Finally, the chords G  and D/F#  are the standard AC/DC stuff
    G      D/F#      note no major or minor tonalities
E---x------x--
B---3------3--
G---0------2--
D---0------0--
A---x------0--
E---3------2--
I hope you enjoy it!!!
Rock and Rooooolllllllllllllllllllll!!!
