Chords
* use barre chords shapes in A and E to walk down scale, I'm starting at 7th/9th fret
I think the song is in the Key of Em or some parallel key but the scale
I play down is in Em (E, F#, G, A, B, C, D, E) for the last line of each chorus
Play bass line found on tab for the first half of chorus before walk down
[Intro]
Drum solo... then
B A E (in 1/8 note triplets or something)
(use E to transition in to the bass line)
[Chorus]
E E A Roll on (Roll on x3), Rock on (Rock on x3), Raw bones (Raw bones x3) E5 D5 B5 A5 G5 E5 * Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
[Verse 1]
E E I wanna leave a happy memory when I go, I wanna leave something to let the whole world know A E That the rock'n' roll daddy has a done passed on, but my bones will keep a-rockin' long after I've gone
[Chorus]
E E A Roll on (Roll on x3), Rock on (Rock on x3), Raw bones (Raw bones x3) E5 D5 B5 A5 G5 E5 * Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
[Verse 2]
E E Well when I die don't you bury me at all, just nail my bones up on the wall A E Beneath these bones let these words be seen, this is the bloody gears of a boppin' machine
(can add walk down here too on last line of verse 2 and 3)
[Chorus]
E E A Roll on (Roll on x3), Rock on (Rock on x3) Raw bones (Raw bones x3) E5 D5 B5 A5 G5 E5 * Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
[Verse 3]
E E I ain't worried bout tomorrow just a-thinkin' bout tonight, my bones are gettin' A restless gonna do it up right, a few more times around a hardwood floor, E before we turn off the lights and close the door
(can add walk down here too)
[Outro]
E E A Roll on (Roll on x3), Rock on (Rock on x3), Yeah, Raw bones(Raw bones x3) E5 D5 B5 A5 G5 E5 * Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones E Rockin' bones, Rockin' bones, Rockin' bones.....fade out ig
