AC/DC: Big Gun
==============

Here's the new (?) AC/DC tune from the "Last Action Hero" soundtrack.
Terrible movie but good soundtrack (although, admittedly, the dog scene
ranks among the top 20 funniest movie scenes of all time -- the movie's
only redeeming feature).

Two guitars in this one -- guitar 1, which plays Riff A and all the solos,
is a clean electric.  Guitar 2, which plays the rest, is distorted.  To get
it "officially," use both guitars; if it doesn't matter (probably), one
will do fine.

Lyrics are questionable at best since I can barely hear them -- might want
to see a doctor about that throat.

I'm playing on the radio
Pictures on the TV
And every man take a-what he can
Shoot 'em on the silver screen

Riff B with:

There's a bad man cruisin' around
In a big black limousine

Give into spite, and double your sights

Big gun, can you hit on the loon  (I SAID I couldn't hear the words!)


[Riff B twice]


VERSE 2
=======
With Riff B:
Terminator's using acres
Shooting up Hollywood
Snakes he ate with a funny fad
Gettin' up 'n' doin' no good

With Riff C:
If you ain't wise, uncover the lies
To fuss of you

With Riff B:
Classified lady killers
Playin' in the U.N. too

With Riff D:
The sooner you are, you're taking the town
Better look out when he's comin' 'round

etc. etc.

[The soloing is in E minor (I think) -- just go crazy and you'll
get it close enough]

Repeat the CHORUS once more and then free-form it to the end.
