ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR (Gallagher) From the album "Definitely Maybe" Tabbed by Fred Lidskog Chords used: EADGBe B (x24442) B2 (7998xx) C#m (x46654) A (x02220) G#m (466444) E (022100) E/B (77999x) F# (244322) There is a riff played along with the "E/B" chord in the intro and verses that I can't, for the life of me, play so it sounds EXACTLY like the record, but below is an attempt that sounds close. The tab below is played in ALL the verses in the song, as well as during the "E/B" chord in the chorus. Here goes: b=bend (3b4 means bend the string at the 3rd fret to make the note that the string would make if it was played at the 4th fret without bending.)

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------------------- 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.
