So Much For Rock And Roll Chords & Tabs
So Much For Rock And Roll Tab
It's off of the live album, there's another tab on here, but it didn't sound right for
Either way, I'm going to tab what I hear in the song. It should be pretty legitimate, the
is pretty basic.

Intro
After you play the intro once, you do this, which starts the interlude:
e|----------|----------|----------|--------|
B|-88x-8-88-|----------|-88x-8-88-|--------|
G|-88x-8-88-|----------|-88x-8-88-|--------|
D|-88x-8-88-|-6--5-6-8~|-88x-8-88-|///////-|
A|----------|----------|----------|///////-|
E|----------|----------|----------|1/14\6--|
This is tricky. I do it by strumming the low E string on the fretboard around the 2nd or
fret, and right after you strum, begin the pick slide(////). while dragging the pick
the fretboard, do the slide with your finger close behind the pick slide. pick slide all
way down, and then finish the slide by touching 14 and then stopping at 6.
After you end you slide at 6, its sets you at the spot to start this power progression:
Interlude:

(On the third repeat, only hit
2 chords here.)
