Baby Loves To Rock chords by Cheap Trick

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 and A's down a whole step, or the E down a whole step for some
(I tried this and can't play a scale where the open A is an A and the 5th
fret on the E is a G.)  Here is the tab in standard tuning for a four
string;  if you tune down your E 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 string, which'll be a D.  Here we go:

     (N.C.) Lovin' ain't all ...

     My (G)baby (D)loves to...(A)rock


second verse

     More and more I'm ...

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

          She ....(another scale)
          She loves ....(another scale)
          She loves ....(another scale)

         (guitar solo in D, bass and drums silent)

A--4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5

      (bass solo!)
         standard tuning                  tuned down full step

G--7-6-4---4---------------  |   G--7-6-4---4-
D--------7---7-5-4-5-4-----  |   D--------7---7-5-4-5-4-2-0
A----------------------7-5-  |

A---4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5

     (guitar solo in A)

    (guitar solo in D)

A---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5

repeat chorus, and do the descending scale part again


bridge

     (D) In the morning in ....
     (A) In the summer ...
     (G) in my car ...
     (D) in an .....

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
