Ballrooms Of Mars

Biography:

T. Rex were a British rock band, formed in London in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band began as a psychedelic folk-rock combo called Tyrannosaurus Rex, a name that was later shortened to T. Rex. In the 1970s, the band had success with glam rock hits like "Jeepster", "Get It On", "Ride a White Swan", "20th Century Boy", "Children of the Revolution", "Hot Love", "Telegram Sam", and "Metal Guru". After their success in the early and mid-1970s, the band broke up after Bolan was killed in a 1977 car accident.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Ive been trying to find a tab of this for ages, so i thought id have a stab at it..
This is main riff pattern that i think is just played over and over throughout the song.
Its played quite loosely, i prefer to hit the bass notes of the chords then strum the
higher notes slightly afterwards so thats why the chords appear slightly off-kilter.
Havent got a clue what the A? actually is, sounds a bit diminished but not sure....anyway
hope its ok!Enjoy!!

RIFF 1

C B/C A A?
E-----8------------5--5
B-----8------------5--5
G-----9----9-------6--5 substitute the A? (dont know what chord that is)
D---10-----10-----7---6 with a standard barred D chord
A---10-----10-----7---6
E---8------7------5---5

C B/C A A?
You gonna look fine, be primed for dancing

C B/C A D
You gonna trip and glide along the trembling plane

REPEAT OVER FOR REST OF SONG I THINK

Substitute the A? with a standard barred D chord when you get to the end of the second line ie
E-5
B-7
G-7
D-7
A-5
E--

This is my first tab but i think it sounds ok.
Dont ask about the solo, i cant double track with an acoustic!
