Lyrics:
A rollin' Rock, Electric shocks
It gives a lickin'that does'nt stop
She line'em up , push you around
smokin' rings going round and round
her hot potatoes will elevate you
her bad behavior will leave you standing proud
Hard as a rock
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
The lightnin' rod strike it hot
gonna hit you like the rushmore rock
no nicotine and no pipe dreams
so low and dirty, it`s darn right mean
Hell'Elevator , I'll see you later
No I ain't gonna take it
I'm bustin' out
Hard as a rock
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official AC/DC tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
