Shes Too Tough chords

Def Leppard

Simplify chords 

  			I liked this song the first time I heard it in 1987 on Helix's Wild in the 
Streets album.  When Def Leppard released it as a b-side on the Heaven single 
CD, I was amazed that it could actually sound better.  The remixed version on 
the Retro-Active album is even better, yet.  Both guitar parts are transcribed 
here, although I am not positive about the division of the parts between the two 
guitars. 
  
V = Palm mute 
/ = Slide up 
\ = Slide down 
/B\ = Bend 
~ = Vibrato 
^ = Hammer on/off

(Riff 'A') 
Black stockings and a high heeled dress 
Good lookin' your face is a mess 
She's no angel 
Oh, no 
(Riff 'A') 
Gun loaded, she's got plenty to spare 
She'll pull your trigger before you're there 
She's no angel 
Oh, no 
  
CHORUS    (Riff 'B') 
          She's too tough 
          Can't help it 
          She just can't help it 
  
CHORUS 
  
(Riff 'A') 
Hands off, its a catch twenty-two 
You can't touch and she can't refuse 
She's no angel 
Oh, no 
(Riff 'A') 
Whiplash, give her six of the best 
Lay back, let her mind do the rest 
She's no angel 
Oh, no 
  
CHORUS    (Riff 'B' 4 times) 
SOLO      (Riff 'C' 2 times) 
CHORUS    (Riff 'B') 
          (Riff 'D') 
          She's too 
          Tough 
CHORUS    (Riff 'C' 4 times and fade) 
  
  
I've cooked up my own little guitar fill for the second guitar in the chorus:

   She's     to             tough   can't help it, she just can't help it 
  
etc
