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 !!

po = pull off 
Try experimenting with this rythym until you get the 
right feel. IT IS FUN !!! 
 
lyrics 
 
verse: 
y‘ say that that you play too loud 
well baby that‘s tough 
y‘say that you got too much 
can‘t get enough 
tell you that you look a fool 
baby I‘m a fool for you 
say that you‘re my disease 
well, shake your stuff 
 
chorus: 
G5 D/F# A5 
It‘s a Rock and Roll damnation 
 
G5 D/F## A5 
ma‘s own whipping boy 
 
G5 D/F# A5 
rock and roll damnation 
 
D5 
take a chance 
 
E5 
while you still got a choice 
 
verse2: 
you say that you want respect 
honey grow up 
everything that you‘ve done for me 
well thanks a lot 
c‘mon, get up off your bended knees 
y‘can , set your mind at ease 
my temperature‘s running hot 
and I‘ve been waiting all night for a bite of what 
you‘ve got,and 
 
Chorus: 
 
Intro section over the lyrics: 
 
just a boy with a toy ( ??? ) 
come on and take your choice 
cos you‘re way out of reach 
living in your sin you gotta practise what you preach 
 
Chorus: 
 
G5 D/F# A5 
It‘s a Rock and Roll damnation 
 
G5 D/F## A5 
ma‘s own whipping boy 
 
G5 D/F# A5 
rock and roll damnation 
 
G5 ( not D this time ) 
take a chance 
 
D5 
while you still got a choice 
 
 
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 and D/F# are the standard AC/DC stuff 
 
G D/F# note no major or minor tonalities
