This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Verse 1
[NOTE: all "B"'s below played with "main riff"]
B2 E/B
I live my life in the city
B2 E/B
And there's no easy way out
C#m A B2 E/B
The day's moving just too fast for me
B2 E/B
I Need some time in the sunshee-ine
B2 E/B
Gotta slow it right down
C#m A B2
The day's moving just too fast for me
Pre-Chorus
G#m E
I live my life for the stars that shine
B
People say it's just a waste of time
G#m E
Then they said I should feed my head
B
That to me was just a day in bed
G#m E
I'll take my car and drive real far
B
Not concerned about the way we are
A
In my mind my dreams are real
F#
Now you're concerned about the way I feel

E|----3---2---0--------------------------------|B (w/main riff) [NOTE: I have no idea what
Tonight! that "?" chord is, or if
it's correct!]
Chorus repeat
Here, song goes to an "A", then starts alternating between "F#" and "E",
then Liam starts singing "It's just rock and roll" and the alternation
between "F# and "E" starts getting faster, and that's the end of the song.
The R'n'R Star solo
(Played over B,B,C#,A - The verse chords)! Also a little tip to make it sound
better is to thrown in an E barre chord during the B in the solo as well as
the verse parts, like this:
e|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-------------------| B|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---9---9---9---9---| G|---8---8---8---7---8---8---8---8---9---9---9---9---| D|---9---9---9---7---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---| or something like this A|---9---9---9---7---9---9---9---9---7---7---7---7---| E|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-------------------|
Solo
Anyway here's the solo.
e|-----------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------| G|---7---8---7--------------------------------7---7h8--------| D|------------------9---7---9---9---7---9----------------9---| A|-----------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------10---------------------------| G|---7---8---7------------------7---9s11---------11---9---7--------7---9------| D|------------------9---7---9----------------------------------------9--------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---| B|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---| G|---8---9---9---8---9---8---9---8---| D|-----------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------|
You play all this twice and on the third time you only play half
of it and then into the chorus.
