"I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll"
written & performed by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
on the album "Down From the Mountain" (live performance)

transcribed by Grace Camblos


This is played on acoustic guitar and what sounds like either a dobro 
or slide guitar.  Two voices in harmony: one takes melody, the other 
below it.  

I’ve tried to incorporate all the key words and the chords that fall 
over them. Listen to the album for more help on that one.

Slow down on the last line and play the final D with a slow, downward 
stroke (take at least 3 seconds to play it).  But I suppose you’ll have 
to listen to the album to get the tune right anyhow (not to mention the 
words – stupid legal issues).
