Song: Rough Boy

Band: ZZ Top
Album: Greatest Hits
Tabbed by: ShecterMan71
Tempo: 80
This is a great song tabbed from the ZZ Top Anthology book � once again,
I�ve made this as simple as possible � on the INTRO, Guitar 1 chords are
Strummed 1x
A lot of synthesizer work is done on this song � on most of the chords

you can do a continuous palm mute in its place � just listen to it

OUTRO SOLO - Guitar 2
Note - This outro chord progression is VERY long and complicated � these
are the correct chords for the rhythm guitar and the majority of them are
one chord per 2 bars � you�ll have to listen to the solo to get the chord
changes

Traducci�n:
Que cosa en este mundo viene sobre m�?

No tengo oportunidad ni de uno en tres
no tengo un discurso
no no tengo un plan
pero si me das un minuto
Me sentir� bien
Yo soy el �nico que puede desaparecer el calor

El que todos dicen que no puede ser vencido
Te disparare directamente
y te mirare a los ojos
as� que dame un minuto
y te dir� por qu�
Soy un chico duro, soy un chico duro
No me importa c�mo me miras

porque yo soy el �nico y lo ver�s
podemos hacer que funcione
podemos hacer lo que sea
as� que dame un minuto m�s
y te dir� por qu�
Soy un chico duro Soy un chico duro
