[Content] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rock Me Baby - B.B. King ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Danny Park Email: danny@park-family.us Tuning: Standard (EADGBD) This is a fairly easy song played by the King, but it's one of his best. I just find it hard to believe there arent more postings for this song. Oh well, here it is. **************************************************************************** Basic Rhythm Riff repeated throughout the song played by piano e|----------------------|----------------------|---------------------------| B|(repeat this 8 times)-|(repeat this 4 times)-|-(repeat this 4 times)-----| G D|----------------------|-10-10---h---12-12----|---------------------------| A|-10-10---h---12-12----|--8--8--------8--8----|-10-10---h---10-10---------| E|--8--8--------8--8----|----------------------|--8--8--------8--8---------| e|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------| B|(repeat this 2 times)-|(repeat this 2 times)-|-(repeat this 2 times------| G D|-12-12---h---14-14----|-10-10---h---12-12----|---------------------------| A|-10-10-------10-10----|--8--8--------8--8----|-10-10---h---12-12---------| E|----------------------|----------------------|--8--8--------8--8---------| e|----9--9----9--9----9--9----9--9-----------------------------------------| B|----9--9----9--9----9--9----9--9-----------------------------------------| G|----9--9----9--9----9--9----9--9-----------------------------------------| D|----8--8----8--8----8--8----8--8-----------------------------------------| A|----9--9----9--9----9--9----9--9-----------------------------------------| E|----9--9----9--9----9--9----9--9-----------------------------------------| The next riff is fairly simple and played by the King over the other riff. The notes are played very sharp and clean. Dont overlap the notes at all. e|---8------------8--|-----13------------13-|----8------------8------------| B|-8----10~(hold)----|--13-----16~(hold)----|--8----10~(hold)--------------| G|-------------------|----------------------|------------------------------| D A|(repeat 4 times)---|--(repeat 2 times)----|---(repeat 2 times)-----------| E|-------------------|----------------------|------------------------------| e|---15------------15|-----13------------13-|----8------------8------------| B|15-----18~(hold)---|--13-----16~(hold)----|--8----10~(hold)--------------| G|-------------------|----------------------|------------------------------| D A|--(repeat once)----|----(repeat once)-----|-----(reapeat 2 times)--------| E|-------------------|----------------------|------------------------------| For the solo you're on your own. I havent fully figured it out. All you really have to do is a little blues improv slowly as the King does on the song. Enjoy. ************************************ | h Hammer-on ************************************
