Tab by: TigaLioness

Well this is my first tab added here (I’m new here) but I think it’s quite accurate to
the song. I’ve based on the tab by lennert moens ’cause I think he could create quite
accurate thing if he would know about the tuning (he thought that Saxon plays in
standard, but in fact they play in 1/2 step down).
I hope it will help you. Myself, I play the song this way and it sounds quite good.
~ – let ring
. – palm mute
Riff 1 (palm muted)
e ———————|
B ———————|
G —-9-9-9-9-9-9-9—-|
D —-7-7-7-7-7-7-7—-|
A ———————|
E ———————|
. . . . . . .
(play that until the Riff 3, with both guitars playing the same)
Riff 2 (this is probably Paul playing it, starting at 00:30)
e —————-|
B —————-|
G —-7~~———|
D —-5~~–7-9~~–|
A ———5-7~~–|
E —————-|
(repeat ’til Riff 3)
Riff 3 (both guitars, coming along with Biff’s “Yeah!” at 1:00)
e —————-|
B —————-|
G —7-7———-|
D —5-5-7-9——|
A ——-5-7——|
E —————-|
play it 2 times, then this:
e —————-|
B —————-|
G —7-7———-|
D —5-5-7-7——|
A ——-5-4——|
E —————-|
And the last, 4th time play the first part of the Riff 3.
Play the whole Riff 3 through the verse, and the chorus comes with the Riff 4 (still
played by both guitars)
Riff 4 (chorus)
e ———————————————————–|
B ———————————————————–|
G ———————————————————–|
D —99999——-9—–9—–9—77777——-7—–7—–7—|
A —77777-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7—55555-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5—|
E ———————————————————–|
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
e ———————————————————-|
B ———————————————————-|
G ———————————————————-|
D ——————————-99999——-9—–9—–9–|
A —77777——-7—–7—–7—77777-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7–|
E —55555-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5——————————|
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Then again play Riff 3 (verse) and Riff 4 (chorus). When the second chorus ends, you can
slide the last chord to 0. Sorry for no solo tabs but I’m playing guitar for 2 years
and I can hardly write normal tabs, solos are just impossible for me to play ’em from
the song… Still, I think Graham is playing the first solo, so Paul is playing Riff 2 (I’m
not sure ’cause I can hardly hear him, Nibbs and Graham are totally howling him down).
With the second, Quinny’s solo, you play Riff 3. Now the breakdown:
e ———————-|
B ———————-|
G —–7~~————–|
D —–5~~—7~~–9~~—|
A ———–5~~–7~~—|
E ———————-|
this is the riff played by ’em while those “Solid Ball of Rock!” screams; play it 3
times, at the fourth time play this instead:
e —————————-|
B —————————-|
G —–7~~——————–|
D —–5~~—7~~—3-3-3-3-3–| (repeat the last chord until the verse)
A ———–5~~—1-1-1-1-1–|
E —————————-|
. . . . .
Then you come with Riff 3 and Riff 4, you play Riff 4 until the end of the song.
I hope it’s helpful. I’ve picked the “intermediate” difficulty because it’s not as
simple as for example Denim and Leather and it has two big solos, which I can’t tab at the
moment; but still this song isn’t very hard to learn, espacially if you love playing
Saxon songs. ?
Enjoy!
