AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long" Tablature
Official AC/DC Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: rob@marsh.cs.curtin.edu.au (Robert Alley (Evil Bob))
Intro: Repeat a couple of times. Main riff:
-------------------------------2---------|------------------------------------
-------------------------------3---------|------------------------------------
-8--10---8---8---7-h-8-p-7-----2---------|-0--5--5--0--5--0--7----------------
-7---7---7---7-------------7---0---3-p-0-|-0--5--5--0--5--0--7----------------
-----------------------------------------|------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------|------------------------------------
----------------
----------------
---0-0-7-0-7-0--
---0-0-7-0-7-0--
----------------
----------------
Main riff is just G C and D, changes to barre chords later.
You may prefer to play the intro in the open position, I find this way easier.
Good luck, any corrections welcomed.
Rob.

Sorry ( no flame) but IMHO at least You Shook Me.. goes sumthin' like this:

Verse : | G | C C G C G | D | G G C G C | :||
(Just follow the beat)
Chorus : | G A B | C B | D | A B C B | :||
I DO appology for my own (strange) notation but if you
follow the beat on the record for practicing then you should get
it "Right , Quite Right"
Be shure to NOT use any reverb at all to get the right feeling on this
track. Otherwise you wont get the true Angus & Malcolm rythmstyle
And , please , don't flame me if I haven't got the above right. It's done
straight out of memory and with no axe at hand.

You've both got the names of the chords correct, but to reproduce Angus' sound
and feeling, you've got to get the fingering correct:

Verse
She was a fast machine
She kept my motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She has the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
And knocking me out with those American thighs
Takin' more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
Cos the walls start shakin'
The ground was quakin'
My mind was achin'
And we were making it and.......

CHORUS Verse:
You shook me all night long (repeat)
Verse
Working double time on the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she was mine all mine
Had to cool it down to take another round
Then I got back in the ring to take another swing
Cos the walls start shakin'... etc...
(I play the D chord part of the intro on the 5th frett, but it's more or
less the same notes. -Tim Morris )
