Rock It (Prime Jive) (R. Taylor) - tab
as recorded by Queen on the album "The Game"
somewhat transcribed by Egils Kaljo (kaljoe@rpi.edu)
This song is almost all power chords - for the rythm - listen to the song
This tab is hardly complete - I haven't gotten the solo yet, and, when
playing through this, you find any mistakes, please let me know so I can revise
it... I'm also not completely sure of the lyrical order...
Anyway... these are chords you will need to know.
E (full) -0- B (full) -2- F# (full) -1- C# (full) -4-
-0- -4- -1- -6-
-1- -4- -2- -6-
-2- -4- -3- -6-
-2- -2- -3- -4-
-0- -2- -1- -4-
To make the power chord - just don't play the first three strings.
In the beginning part, it is all arpeggiated chords (they are all the "full"
chords)
B E
When I hear, that rock and roll
F#
It gets down to my soul,
B F#
When it's real rock and roll, oh rock and roll
(Repeat)
(Power chord section)
B
B
Oh Oh... Oh Oh...
F#
You really think they like to rock in space?
Well I don't know.
B
What do you know? What do you hear?
F#
On the radio. Coming through the air.
B F#
I said Mama, I ain't crazy, I'm all right... all right...
C#
Hey c'mon baby said it's all right, to rock and roll on a Saturday night,
F#
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me,
E B
Said come baby down, come and rock with me, I said yeah...
B
What do you do, to get to feel alive,
F#
You go downtown, and get some of that prime jive,
B F#
I said Mama, I ain't crazy, I'm all right... all right...
C#
Hey c'mon baby said it's all right, to rock and roll on a Saturday night,
F#
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me,
E B
Said come baby down, come and rock with me, I said yeah...
We're gonna rock it...
(solo)
C#
Hey c'mon baby said it's all right, to rock and roll on a Saturday night,
F#
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me,
E B
Said come baby down, come and rock with me, I said yeah...
We're gonna rock it... Tonight
F#
(We want some prime jive) Oh oh oh
B
(We want some prime jive) Oh oh oh oh oh rock it tonight...
and it is F# -> B ad infinitum (or at least, until the end)
