Rockin’ All Over The World | TAB


Let’s look at three different TAB examples that you can use when playing Rockin’ All Over The World.

The first example is the classic way, I’m including playing the C chord as an A shape and then as an E shape as well, looks like this:

Rockin' All Over The World TAB, example 1.

With chords and lyrics, I’ve written C C(6) in order to avoid it being too cluttered. Here with TAB, I’m using a symbol that means “play the same thing again”. This is to avoid making it all too cluttered.



Next, there’s a fingerstyle version of the riff. Now there is so much variation I had to write it all out.

Finally, here are the stops, or example 3.

Rockin' All Over The World TAB, example 3.

I’ve put F#dim7 for the chords and lyrics, but it’s probably better to just play it as a power chord, so F#b5.
