Dm                         G                               Dm
Smack, crack, bushwacked.  Tie another one to the racks, baby.
Dm                       G                               Dm
Hey kids, rock and roll. Nobody tells you where to go, baby.
F                                 Am
What if I ride? What if you walk? What if you rock around the clock?
G
Tick,  tock,  tick,  tock.
Em                                   Em                       G       Dm
What if you did? What if you walk?   What if you tried to get off, baby?
 
 
Dm                        G                               Dm
Hey kids, where are you?  Nobody tells you what to do, baby.
Dm                      G                                 Dm
Hey kids, shake a leg.  Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby.
F                                 Am
Maybe you did, maybe you walked.  Baby, you rocked around the clock.
G
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Em                                 Em                        G      Dm
What if you did? What if you walk? What if you tried to get off, baby.

The parts where the electric guitar comes in should be in a C chord when there are words, all except for the last line which is still in G like the tab says. C E-5--------------------------------------------------------------5------- B---8-6------------------------------------------------------------8-6--- G-------7-5-------------------5p7----5----------------------------------- D---------5--------------------------5----------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like the electric guitar riff.

I think all the chords are right, not so much the picking pattern, but that's really hard to tab out. But first and foremost, it's not half step, it's dropped D. That makes it sound like the original.
