Subject: Rolling Stones - If You Can't Rock Me
From ujhennin@uxa.ecn.bgu.edu
Subject: Try this out please
Steve,
Here's a tab I'd like you try out. It's the riff in the middle of `If
You Can't Rock Me'. The song is in open G. Let me know if the tab
works for you. This is a really cool riff to know. I sprinkle parts of
this around liberally through a lot of songs.

I want to work the whole song out when I get a chance but this riff
*really* is the best part of the song. Hopefully my editor doesn't do
more weird changes to what I really wrote as I save this letter.
-Jim
It did. Well I changed it again hopefully it stays this time.
Hey!! Edit #3 and it seems to be holding

If You Can't Rock Me-The Rolling Stones
The song If You Can't Rock Me from the album It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. A decent hard rocker.
Lyrics:
The band's on stage and it's one of those nights, oh yeah
The drummer thinks that he is dynamite, oh yeah
You lovely ladies in your leather and lace
A thousand lips I would love to taste
I've got one heart and it hurts like hell
If you can't rock me somebody will
If you can't rock me somebody will
Now who's that black girl in the bright blue hair, oh yeah
Now don't you know that it's rude to stare, oh yeah
I'm not so green but I'm feelin' so fresh
I simply like to put her to the test
She's so alive and she's dressed to kill, but
If you can't rock me somebody will
If you can't rock me somebody will
If you can't rock me somebody will
If you can't rock me somebody will
Now I ain't lookin' for no pretty face, oh no
Or for some hooker workin' roughish trade
And there ain't nothing like a perfect mate
And I ain't lookin' for no wedding cake
But I been talkin' 'bout it much too long
I think I better sing just one more song
I've got one heart and it hurts like hell
I'm simply dying for some thrills and spills
Oh yeah
If you can't rock me
If you can't rock me, somebody will
Somebody will, somebody will
If you can't rock me
Well, well, well, well
