Subject: TAB Rock Brigade, Def Leppard

Rock Brigade was Leppards first song to receive extensive radio play in

North America. I have always liked the opening riff. Actually I had

always played this in 'D' but just recently discovered that it should be

in 'E'. Live and learn... The second guitar part plays the power chords

as listed in the chord chart at the beginning. If there are no chords

writted above the tab, play a solo (I don't know it) or play the first

guitar part with both guitars.

(Riff 'A' 2 times)

(Riff 'A')

Well in the middle of the night

And the early morning light

You can hear them a million miles away

(Riff 'A')

They'll be banging on their drums

Banging on your door

Waving their flags telling you the score

(Riff 'B')

CHORUS: Watch out for the Rock Brigade

Oh no it's the Rock Brigade

Look out for the Rock Brigade

Leading you away, away

(Riff 'A')

So when they hit your town

You'd better get down I'm telling no lies to you mister

(Riff 'A')

'cause they live for rock 'n' roll

They'll try to steal your soul

Might even try to steal your sister

(Riff 'C')

CHORUS

(Riff 'D')

SOLO

(Riff 'A')

So in the middle of the night

Or the early morning light

If you hear them coming your way

(Riff 'A')

Well you'd better watch you step

Don't step out of line

'cause here they come one more time

(Riff 'E')
