                          She's Too Tough - Def Leppard
                           From the Album Retro-Active
                          Words and music by: Joe Elliott
  
      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:
  
 E---------------------------
 B------8-8--6-5-6~~~~~~~~~~-
 G|------5--------7----------------------
 D-5-------------------------
 A|-3------------------------------------
 E---------------------------
    She's     to             tough   can't help it, she just can't help it
  
 Etc
