From: Gary and Teresa Vander Ploeg
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')
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')
CHORUS
CHORUS
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 DEF LEPPARD 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.
