ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR      by Oasis (well .. Noel Gallagher)
===================     from "Definitely Maybe"
 
Its taken me ages to figure out that he goes to Ab at the 
bridge type bit (pre-chorus). He throws in these unexpected
chords fairly often it seems (see the Supersonic transcription at
OLGA which is fine except it goes to D not E on the chorus as is 
written).
 
Most (if not all) of the chords are barred, the B at the
7th and theres a lot of taking off of the barre (fore) finger so it 
adds an E and an A. Other than that just turn up the overdrive.
 
intro: B (mess around) then B A->E B
 
B
I live my life in the city -  there's no easy way out
A               E                 B
The days moving just too fast for me,
B
Need some time in the sunshhyynnnnne - gotta slow it right down
A               E                 B
The days moving just too fast for me.
 
  Ab                    E
I live my life for the stars that shine
B
People say its just a waste of time
Ab                           E
When they said I should just feed my head 
B                    
That to me was just a day in bed
     Ab              E
I'll take my car and drive real far
                 B                                     
To where they're not concerned about the way we are 
 
A                   
In my mind my dreams are real
F#                        
Are you concerned about the way I feel ?
 
A  E                        B
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star
A  E                        B
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star
A  E                        B
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star.
 
 
Then: repeat the whole of above until :
 
 
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star
A  E                        B
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star.
 
A                   
Are you down with who I am
E                
Look at you'll now you're all in my hands - tonight.
 
solo: over verse chords (B A E)
 
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night  I'm a rock'n'roll star.
 
Then at the end there is a bit of a free-for-all - it goes first to an
A (slide up from G) then I *think* it is E (fingered at 1st fret) 
and an E shape slid up two frets (so a sort of F#) - I may be wrong
on this bit though - so any takers ?
