    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 augmentedA and D.

      A augmentedA      D MajorD
    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 augmentedA
    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 !!!

    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+G and D/F#D/F# are the standard AC/DC stuff

      G+G   D/F#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 !!!
