"Rock Steady"
by Paul Rodgers
>From the album Bad Co

I saw OLGA had the lyrics for the song but no tab, so I figured I'd type 
up what I have.  It's a really simple song, actually.

Intro 

E------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------
G--5--------5--------5---------------5---7p5-----
D--5--------5--------5---------------5---7p5-----
A----0-0------0-0------0-0-----3-5-----0---------
E------------------------------------------------

The verse is along the same lines.  Experiment a little!

E--------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------
G-------7p5-------7p5-----------5-----7------
D-------7p5-------7p5-----------5-----7------
A--0-0-------0-0-------0-0-3-5-----0---------
E--------------------------------------------

As far as I know the chorus is just C,D - which I play as barre chords.  
I won't bother trying to tab out the picking pattern.
(actually, I think therešs more than this, but this should be ok for 
faking it!)

Turn on your [C]light and stay with [D]me a while
And [C]ease your worried [D]mind
Turn on your [C]light and stay with [D]me a while
And Rock Steady!

At the end play the 8th fret on the B string and bend it up 1/2 step.

That's most of the song.  Pretty simple but fun, especially if 
you're a BC fan.
