A| I've tabbed just the right hand because with the left one i usually keep long the principal notes of
B| the chords signed at the top of the tab. I hope you'll enjoy my job! If you know where I can find tabs
B| or scores of other rock songs, please mail me at
fish_52@libero.it. For Van Halen scores,
E| visit at
www.vhvault.com maya's van halen page: the major part of this tab comes from there

C| I get up, and nothing gets me down.
O| You got it tough. I've seen the toughest around.
M| And I know, baby, just how you feel.
-| You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
T| Oh can't you see me standing here,
A| I've got my back against the record machine
B| I ain't the worst that you've seen.
N| Oh can't you see what I mean ?
A| Might as well jump. Jump !
B| Might as well jump.
B| Go ahead, jump. Jump !
E| Go ahead, jump.
R| Aaa-ohh Hey you ! How said that ?
.| Baby how you been ?
C| You say you don't know, you won't know
O| until we begin.
M| Well can't you see me standing here,
-| I've got my back against the record machine
T| I ain't the worst that you've seen.
A| Oh can't you see what I mean ?
B| Might as well jump. Jump !
N| Go ahead, jump.
A| Might as well jump. Jump !
B| Go ahead, jump.
