Back

The Rockafeller Skank Tab

by Fatboy Slim


Havnt seen any tabs that are spot on for this so i'm gonna have a go at it.


The intro is mainly talking and drums but at 0:35 it goes

E-------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------|
D--4b(5)5----4b(5)----4b(5)----4b(5)--|
A-------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------|

Then theres a little rhythm bit on G for 4 bars then it goes

E----------------------------------|
B----------------------------------|
G----------------------------------|
D--55555555555555555555555555775577
A----------------------------------|
E----------------------------------|

Then when the chords come in they are Gm   Bb   C        Repeat these a lot.


Then after a bit a kind of 'surfs up' riff comes in that goes

E-------------------------|
B-------------------------|
G-----------7-7b(8)-7-----|             Repeat this 4 times
D--5555-555-----------6-5-|
A-------------------------|
E-------------------------|

Then there's the breakdown that has no guitar in it but streight after that there's 
riff that goes

E-------3----------------3-5b(7)-5b(7)--|
B---------------------336---------------|
G--5b(7)-pb(7)5-3-3---------------------|         Repeat this 4 times
D------------------5--------------------|
A---------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|


Then there's a break that goes

E------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------|
D--4b(5)5--4b(5)5----4-5---4b(5)5--4b(5)5---4-5--|
A------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------|


Then after 4 bars of chords these two riffs are played at the same time

E-------------------------|
B-------------------------|
G-----------7-7b(8)-7-----|             Repeat this 4 times
D--5555-555-----------6-5-|
A-------------------------|
E-------------------------|

and

E-------3---------3--------3--------------|
B----------------3------------------------|
G--5b(7)-pb(7)5-3-----5b(7)-pb(7)5-3------|    Repeat this 4 times
D------------------------------------5----|
A-----------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------|


Then another guitar on its own thats uber hard but I think it goes like this
The X's just mean drum beats and on the bends where there's just a b and no number just 
them a little bit.

E--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
B--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
G--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
D--xx-5-----xx-5-----xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
A--xx-------xx-------xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
E--xx-------xx-------xx-x--xx-x-xx--|

E--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx------x-----xx------x--|
B--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx------x-----xx------x--|
G--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx------x-----xx------x--|
D--xx-5-----xx-5-----xx-4b(5)x-1(2)xx-4b(5)x--|
A--xx-------xx-------xx------x-----xx------x--|
E--xx-------xx-------xx------x-----xx------x--|

E--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
B--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
G--xx--3b---xx--3b---xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
D--xx-5-----xx-5-----xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
A--xx-------xx-------xx-x--xx-x-xx--|
E--xx-------xx-------xx-x--xx-x-xx--|

E--xx--3b---xx--3b--|
B--xx--3b---xx--3b--|
G--xx--3b---xx--3b--|
D--xx-5-----xx-5----|
A--xx-------xx------|
E--xx-------xx------|

Then another breakdown and 16 bars into that it goes

E------------------------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--5555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555
A------------------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then back into this riff

E-------3---------3--------3--------------|
B----------------3------------------------|
G--5b(7)-pb(7)5-3-----5b(7)-pb(7)5-3------|    Repeat this 3 times
D------------------------------------5----|
A-----------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------|

then there's a break and then this

E-------------------------|
B-------------------------|
G-----------7-7b(8)-7-----|         Repeat this until it slows right down
D--5555-555-----------6-5-|
A-------------------------|
E-------------------------|

when the rhythm gets going again it's just drums and vocals until 5:23 when you just 
on a
G chord for 7 bars but after the 8th bar of that you go back into the chords and this riff

E-------3---------3--------3--------------|
B----------------3------------------------|
G--5b(7)-pb(7)5-3-----5b(7)-pb(7)5-3------|    Repeat this 8 times
D------------------------------------5----|
A-----------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------|

and after 8 bars this riff joins in

E-------------------------|
B-------------------------|
G-----------7-7b(8)-7-----|             Repeat this 4 times
D--5555-555-----------6-5-|
A-------------------------|
E-------------------------|

then another breakdown and then you're done.
