xSong: You're No Rock N Roll Fun
Band: Sleater Kinney
Album: All Hands on the Bad One
Straight forward rock tune. Writing this out I wrote the first chorus
tabbing out what is actually played. The second chorus I wrote the chords
because its easier to play if your singing along.

You're no rock n' roll fun

You're no walk in the park

more like a shot in the dark
F# C#
with clues left for no one

Riff 1
And all the boys in the band
know how to get down
Riff 1
fill our Christmas socks
with whiskey drinks
and chocolate bars
Riff 1
and when the evening ends we won't
be thinking of you then
Riff 1
Although the best man
Riff 2
won't hang out with the girl band!
Riff 2
the girl band!
Verse:
C# F# C#
You're no rock n' roll fun
F# C#
like a piece of art

that no one can touch
C# F# C#
Your head is always up in the clouds
F# C#
writing your songs
F# C#
won't you ever come down?
Chorus:

Even if your song
