Rave On Lyrics

Well the little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you - rave on it's a crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin' When you say, "
I love you" - Rave on

The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say goodnight 0 Rave on, it's a crazy feelin’and
I know it's got me reelin' when you say
"I love you" rave on

Well rave on it's a crazy feelin' - and I know - it's got me reelin'
I'm so glad - that you're revealin' your love for me
Rave on - rave on and tell me - tell me - not to be lonely
Tell me -you love me only rave on to me

Break

I'm so glad - that you're revealin' your love for me
Rave on - rave on and tell me - tell me - not to be lonely
Tell me -you love me only rave on to me

Ah ah ah - Ah ah ah - Ah ah ah

Chords & Lyrics

Rave On Tips

Well this song is a pretty simple three chord song using the chords G, C and D. You could use a D7 in places as long as you're going back to the G. And the same could be said of the G7 chord which v=can be used as long as you're heading to the C chord.

The rhythm on this one is a steady down up down up and repeat with a few chops in the chorus as you'll see in the demo.

The lead in here isn't anything spectacular, just a few notes blended in with the chords which I cover in the full lesson.

This song could be played in any three chords. So if you're starting in A you would use an E and a E. Start in C and use a F and an G. Start in D and use an G and an A. Based on your vocal range pick a series of chords and make changes to my chord sheet with a pencil until you learn the song.
