CHEAP TRICK - "baby loves to rock" Tablature
Official CHEAP TRICK Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: Glen Norman Pavan <senomar@strauss.udel.edu>
artist: Cheap Trick
song: Baby Loves To Rock
album: All Shook Up
key: D/b
tuning:
this song can be done in standard tuning on a four string,
granted, it will sound stupid as hell merely because of one low D.
I personally am too lazy to tune down, although it only requires doing
the E and A's down a whole step, or the E down a whole step for some
(I tried this and can't play a scale where the open A is an A and the 5th
fret on the E is a G.) Here is the tab in standard tuning for a four
string; if you tune down your E and A, just move the numbers up two
frets, and play the bass solo an octave lower, starting on the 7th fret
of the A string, which'll be a D. Here we go:
verse
(N.C.) More and more I'm thinking about love
A--4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(N.C.) Lovin' ain't all I'm a thinking of
A--4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(N.C) Some people do and so people don't
E--4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(N.C.) Some people will and say they won't
A--4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5-
chorus
But my (G)baby (D) loves to (A) rock
My (G)baby (D)loves to (A)roll
My (G)baby (D)loves to (A)all night long
My (G)baby (D)loves to (A)rock
second verse
More and more I'm thinking about S-S-S
The more I think, the better is gets
More and more I'm a thinking about se-se-se-
The more I think, the worse it gets
repeat chorus
in the last line of the chorus, instead of the A, go to
an E (second fret D string/7th fret A string) and do an E major scale
descending one octave to low E.
She loves to rock (another scale)
She loves to rock (another scale)
She loves to rock (another scale)
third verse
(guitar solo in D, bass and drums silent)
A--4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(bass solo!)
standard tuning tuned down full step
G--7-6-4---4--------------- | G--7-6-4---4-
D--------7---7-5-4-5-4----- | D--------7---7-5-4-5-4-2-0
A----------------------7-5- |
A---4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5
(guitar solo in A)
E---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5--4-5-5-3-5-
(guitar solo in D)
A---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5
repeat chorus, and do the descending scale part again
bridge
(D) In the morning in the evening
(A) In the summer in the winter
(G) in my car in the night
(D) in an airplane not in Russia
do the descending scale part of the chorus 4 times
then do the first two lines of the first verse and there you have it
this was a bitch to tab, and I hope I didn't confuse anybody TOO badly

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 CHEAP TRICK 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.
