AC/DC: Big Gun

==============

 

Here's the new (?) AC/DC tune from the "Last Action Hero" soundtrack. 

Terrible movie but good soundtrack (although, admittedly, the dog scene

ranks among the top 20 funniest movie scenes of all time -- the movie's

only redeeming feature).

 

Two guitars in this one -- guitar 1, which plays Riff A and all the solos,

is a clean electric.  Guitar 2, which plays the rest, is distorted.  To get

it "officially," use both guitars; if it doesn't matter (probably), one

will do fine.

 

Lyrics are questionable at best since I can barely hear them -- might want

to see a doctor about that throat.

Shoot 'em on the silver screen

There's a bad man cruisin' around

In a big black limousine

VERSE 2

With Riff B:

Terminator's using acres

Shooting up Hollywood

Snakes he ate with a funny fad

Gettin' up 'n' doin' no good

 

With Riff C:

If you ain't wise, uncover the lies

To fuss of you

 

With Riff B:

Classified lady killers

Playin' in the U.N. too

 

With Riff D:

The sooner you are, you're taking the town

Better look out when he's comin' 'round

[The soloing is in E minor (I think) -- just go crazy and you'll

get it close enough]

 

Repeat the CHORUS once more and then free-form it to the end.

"Make no mistake about it.  They're EXTREMELY well-trained."

 

 

This song transcribed by David Braue on October 11, 1993 on a chilly,

beautiful Massachusetts autumn evening when I should really be studying.
