Author/Artist: Everclear
Title: Rock Star
Album: Songs from an American Movie Vol. 2
Transcribed by: J.Barker
Email: jbarx@msn.com
standard tuning (although some everclear songs since the "so much for the afterg
album are about 20 cents sharp of standard according to my tuner, so experiment
progression is simple and so is the rhythm (4/4 time)
verse moves in half steps and shifts up one whole step
in verse changes. this is a good song so turn up the
distortion and have a little fun. email me with questions
or comments.
