First, a disclaimer: I am pretty sure this is NOT the exact way AC/DC plays the song. When I see this song played live, during certain parts of the song Angus and Malcolm have their hands on different parts of the neck than I do. I'm not exactly sure what they're doing, but this version I came up with sounds just like the record to me. Okay. First the intro. Over this, Angus plays a passage that is repeated in the solo later on. Look for it further down: -----------------3----------3----------3-----------3----- -----------------3----------3----------3-----------3----- -----------------0----------0----------0-----------0----- ----0-/3---------0----------0----------0-----------0----- -1----------0-/3----------------------------------------- ---------1----------------------------------------------- Then this riff is repeated four times: ----------------------------- -8---8---------------8--8---- -7---7--5-5---5-5--5-7--7---- -5---5--3-2---2-3--2-5--5---- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- A slight variation on this riff serves as the main verse riff, and repeats throughout the rest of the song: ----------------------------- -8---8----------------------- -7---7--5-5---5-5--5-5--5---- -5---5--3-2---2-3--2-3--2---- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Now the prechorus. Repeat this twice: ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -5-5-5----5--5----5-5-5------ -5-5-5-5--5--5-5--5-5-5-5---- -------5-------5--------5---- ----------------------------- ...then this once: ---------------------------------------------- -3-------------3------------------------------ -2-------------2------------------------------ -0-------------0---------------0-/3----------- ------3-2-3---------3-1-1----1---------0-/3--- ------------------------------------1--------- ^ ^ hit these two notes a few times lightly For the chorus, you play this riff four times. It was in the intro earlier: ----------------------------- -8---8---------------8--8---- -7---7--5-5---5-5--5-7--7---- -5---5--3-2---2-3--2-5--5---- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Then this four times: --------------- -8---8--------- -7---7---5-5--- -5---5---3-2--- --------------- --------------- Then repeat the first chorus riff 1 1/2 times (you'll know what I mean by listening to the record) and close the chorus with this riff. Pay attention, it is repeated again three times at the end of the song: -6-3------------- -6-3-3-6-5------- -------5-5-3----- -------------5--- ----------------- ----------------- Now for the solo. It starts with this passage, which Angus plays at the beginning of the song. I believe Angus typically plucks the E string with his finger and uses the pick for the G string: -7-8-10-10-8-7-5-5-3-5-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -7-8-10-10-8-7-5-5-3-5-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And the rest: ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------6b8-----------------------------------6b8---- -5--/4--5--/4-------5--/4--5--/4--5b7--5--/4--5--/4--------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------8b10--8-----11b13-13p11-------- ---------------6b8----------11--------------11----- -5--/4--5--/4-------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- -------10---------------------------------------------- -13b15----15r13-11----11b12r11------11b13---11-10-9---- -------------------12----------12---------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -13-11-13b15---- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- That should be enough to get you through the whole thing.
