Europe - Rock The Night
Tabbed by: Peter Gleeson, August 2011
Hello, I realised there wasn't much on here in terms of tabs for this song, so I had a
go at producing one myself. I've included the lyrics to the first verse to help with the
timing and all that - but if they don't help then just pretend they're not there.
There are many references to "divebombing". My guitar doesn't have a floating bridge so
I haven't been able to be at all precise. Most of the time the note you will need to
strike is either the 15th fret or 17th fret on the high e string.
As for the lead guitar, I tabbed it by ear, and it may not be perfect. I saw there was
already a tab on here for the first solo (thanks to Daniele96), and I tweaked it slightly
and used it to get me started. If anyone has any better tabs for the solos, please put
them up on here!
Hopefully the layout is clear enough, look out for the many ^ symbols here and there if
there is any confusion.
