This is the same song originally done by the Velvet Underground. It was done on the Runaways(Joan Jetts' first band) first release and it features a real cool riff. The song is in 4/4 and we used to start it by having the drummer play a steady beat on the cow bell. Here is our arrangement: Rock and Roll - Runaways(VU) riff: D C |------|--------------------|----------------------| |------|----------7\--------|----------5\----------| |------|-------4--7\--------|-------2--5\----------| |------|-------4--7\--------|-------2--5\----------| |-(17)\|-5--7---------------|-3--5-----------------| |------|--------------------|----------------------| 4 1 & 2 & 3 4 1 & 2 & 3 4 G D |---------------------|----------------------| |---------------------|----------7\----------| B=bend |---------------------|-------4--7\----------| R=release |-----------2-B3---R2-|-------4--7\----------| \=slide down |-----2--5------------|-5--7-----------------| |--3------------------|----------------------| 1 & 2 & 3 4 1 & 2 & 3 4
