Rock Lobster by The B-52s ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rock Lobster - The B-52s ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : Au79 e-mail: william.lamar@yahoo.com Tuning: EADG (Standard) This is the full song up to 4:25 where the song changes quite a bit. This song was originally not performed with a bassist, but it has a catchy bass line so I've tabbed it out here the best I could :) INTRO G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------6p5---6p5------------------------6p5---6p5--------| A|-----3---5---6---5p3--------------------3---5---6---5p3--------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------6p5---6p5------------------------6p5---6p5--------| A|-----3---5---6---5p3--------------------3---5---6---5p3--------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| VERSE (Repeat these bars) G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------6p5---6p5-------------------------6p5---6p5--------| A|-----3---5---6---5p3--------------------3---5---6---5p3--------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| We were at a party His ear lobe fell in the deep Someone reached in and grabbed it It was a rock lobster CHORUS (Play the notes quickly) G|--------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------6-(x8)---5-(x8)------------------| REPEAT X4 A|-----3-(x8)---6-(x8)------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------6-(x4)---5-(x4)------------------| REPEAT X2 A|-----3-(x4)---6-(x4)------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------6-(x2)---5-(x2)------------------| REPEAT X2 A|-----3-(x2)---6-(x2)------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------6---5-----------6---5-----------6---5---6---5---6---5--| A|---3---6-----------3---6-----------3---6--------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------| The rest of the song up to 4:25 is almost all the same except from: (2:18) Right after "He was in a giant clam!"
