Dance the Night Away
Van Halen, from _Van_Halen_II_

transcribed by pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov (patrick m. ryan)

As with just about all VH songs, tune down 1/2 step to play the
song in the original key. The underscore '_' means "slide".

[here's the signature riff for the song]

[this riff is ad-libbed through most of the song.]
