Song Tabs

 “I Love Rocky Road” is a parody of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock 'n' Roll,” performed by Weird Al Yankovic. The original version is energetic and rooted in classic rock, which translates well to simple, driving guitar strumming.

## Chords Used

D, G, A

All chords are open and beginner-friendly. Make sure you can switch between them smoothly. Practice moving between D–G and G–A, as these are frequent transitions.

## Strumming Pattern

A straightforward rock strumming pattern works best:

Down, Down, Up, Up, Down, Up

Keep your strumming hand moving in a relaxed motion. Accentuate the first down strum for a punchy, upbeat feel. For even more authenticity, play with a slightly muted or palm-muted sound during verses, then open up on the chorus.

## Song Structure and Tips

The intro uses D–G–A, repeated, setting a classic rock vibe. Verses alternate between D and G with A as a turnaround. The chorus relies on the same chord set.

Try to anticipate chord changes by glancing ahead in the lyrics. Keeping your fingers close to the fretboard helps with smooth transitions.

During the instrumental, maintain the strumming energy. For the bridge, stay steady, as the chords follow the earlier patterns.

Sing along if you can—it helps with timing!

## Summary

Focus on clean chord changes, a steady strum, and have fun with the upbeat, playful energy of the song.
