Chords with lyrics
artist: Cheap Trick
song: Baby Loves To Rock
album: All Shook Up
key: D/b
tuning:
this song can be done in standard tuning on a four string,
granted, it will sound stupid as hell merely because of one low D.
I personally am too lazy to tune down, although it only requires doing
the E MajorE and A's down a whole step, or the E MajorE down a whole step for some
(I tried this and can't play a scale where the open A augmentedA is an A augmentedA and the 5th
fret on the E MajorE is a G.) Here is the tab in standard tuning for a four
string; if you tune down your E MajorE and A, just move the numbers up two
frets, and play the bass solo an octave lower, starting on the 7th fret
of the A augmentedA string, which'll be a D. Here we go:

second verse

repeat chorus
in the last line of the chorus, instead of the A, go to
an E MajorE (second fret D MajorD string/7th fret A augmentedA string) and do an E MajorE major scale
descending one octave to low E.
She ....(another scale)

(guitar solo in D MajorD)
A---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5
repeat chorus, and do the descending scale part again

do the descending scale part of the chorus 4 times
then do the first two lines of the first verse and there you have it
this was a bitch to tab, and I hope I didn't confuse anybody TOO badly
