Its A Long Way To The Top (ver 3) by Ac/dc
Tabbed by: chanandler_bong
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
So this is the proper way to play this song, like AC/DC, who had
to tune it down for the bagpipes.
I'm sure this tab is 100%, but not the solo, because i
think it sounds better if you just make it up on the spot. I've tried
to make this tab pretty detailed, so you can get the song just right.
Cheers!

Lead guitar solo, you can do what is recorded, but i just do my own thing,
e.g.- (Listen to the song for the timing of this part, the lead
plays after the rhythm plays the 3 chords) There are 3
bits to the guitar solo.
1st 2nd
e|-6-9-6--------------------------I-18-21-18--------------------------------|
B|-6-9-6--------------------------I-18-21-18--------------------------------|

D|-------------------8--6---------I-----------------------------20-19-18----|
A|--------------------------8-----I--------------------------------------20-|
E|------------------------------6-I-----------------------------------------|
The 3rd bit continues on for twice as long
e|-6-9-6------6-9------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------6-9-----6-9-------------------6-9-----------------------------------|
G|-------------------8b-6-8-6--------------8-6-------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------6-7---------8-6---------------------------|
A|----------------------------/6-9-----------------8-------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------6~-~-~-~-~-~------------|
And then the rythm guitar comes back in with this until the chorus-

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-6--8-x-x-8-8------------------------------------------------------|
E|-6--6-x-x-6-6------------------------------------------------------|
And then the lead plays this again
e|-6---6-------6---6-------6---6-------6---6-------------------------|
B|-6---6-------6---6-------6---6-------6---6-------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|x2
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Lyrics
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star on stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
