Rock And Roll Queen

*******************

written by Mick Ralphs

For the intro do either this riff:

E|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------7---5--------|	  2 times
D|-----------------------------7---5---7----|
A|----------------------3------5---3---7----|
E|----0--3--5----0-3-5----5------------5----|

or try with chords (very fast) E G A E G A C-A D C A 2 times

This is the main riff.

D A

Listen woman you needn't look so stupid when I call your name out loud

D A

'Cause everybody thinks you're a sweet smelling girl with intelligence and you know how

G D

I wouldn't want anyone else to know

G D

About the way you really are

A

You're just a rock and roll queen

G

You know what I mean

D G-A

And I'm just a rock and roll star

play the main riff again

D A

Listen woman you needn't go to bed with everybody that you meet

D A

'Cause everybody thinks you're a sweet little girl with intelligence in your feet

G D

I wouldn't want anyone else to know

G D

About the way you really are

A

You're just a rock and roll queen

G

You know what I mean

D G-A

And I'm just a rock and roll star

try riffs like

e:---------------------|
B:---------------------|
G:---14-14-14-14---12--|
D:---------------------|
A:---------------------|
E:---------------------|

Alright!

do the solo firstly over main riff and

then over some weird chord changing I do not really know

(I think it's somethin with A and G)

drum break -- main riff

2nd solo over main riff-6 times and

then over the part I like most:

A G D

You're just a rock and roll queen

You know what I mean

And I'm just a rock and roll star

-fade out-

Ain't it a great tune?
