Queen - Rock It Tabs

Rock It (Prime Jive) (R. Taylor) - tab

		as recorded by Queen on the album "The Game"

		somewhat transcribed by Egils Kaljo (kaljoe@rpi.edu)





This song is almost all power chords - for the rythm -  listen to the song

This tab is hardly complete - I haven't gotten the solo yet, and, when
playing through this, you find any mistakes, please let me know so I can revise
it... I'm also not completely sure of the lyrical order... 

Anyway... these are chords you will need to know.

E (full) -0-	B (full) -2-	F# (full) -1-   C# (full) -4- 
	 -0-		 -4-		  -1-		  -6-
	 -1-    	 -4-		  -2-		  -6-
	 -2-		 -4-		  -3-		  -6-
	 -2-		 -2-		  -3-		  -4-
 	 -0-		 -2-		  -1-		  -4-


To make the power chord - just don't play the first three strings.


In the beginning part, it is all arpeggiated chords (they are all the "full"
chords)


B			E

When I hear, that rock and roll

		F#	
It gets down to my soul,

		  B			F#
When it's real rock and roll, oh rock and roll

(Repeat)

Oh	Oh...		Oh 	Oh...

F#

Well I don't know.

	F#
I said shoot and get your suit and come along with me,

	E							    B

What do you do, to get to feel alive,

	     F# 
You go downtown, and get some of that prime jive,
