OK, here's a decent tab of Rock and Roll Band. The solo's kinda sketchy,
because there's two guitars, and I only bothered with one. I think
by now you know my bend notation, but if I haven't explained it, it's 
like this: 14b16 means bend 14 up to the note that 16 would make, i.e.
a full step. 16b14 means bend the note before picking and then bring it
down to pitch (down a full step in this case). The / means slide up, \ 
means slide down. So here's Rock and Roll Band...

The verse lick goes like this:

                           1-3.    4.         5-6.
--------------------------|-------|----------|-----------|--

--0--0-3-4---3-4----------|---3-4-|----------|-------3-4-|--

The 1-3 is the ending of the lick for times 1-3, 4. for the 4th,
etc. After the sixth time it goes

------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------9-7--5--4--5-5--

--2--------------4--4-----4---6-4-7-7-7---------------------

The chorus chords are

----------------|-0-2--2-3-4-5-7--0---------3/4-------|-----

Then back to the verse and chorus, etc. The solo goes something
like this, but there's two guitars and I only did one.

The rest of the song is pretty much just verse/chorus stuff.

Have fun,
