Biography:
David Essex's first notable acting role was the lead in the stage musical, Godspell in 1971. Two years later, he starred in the film That'll Be The Day (1973) and recorded a major hit single, "Rock On" (which he wrote himself), in the same year. A second single, "Lamplight", also reached the British Top 10.
In the 1970s, Essex emerged as one of the UK's top performers. His biggest hits during this decade included a pair of Number One singles : "Gonna Make You A Star" (1974)

Hi! This is my first attempt at tabs and it's taken me a while (with the help of a
guitar savvy friend) to get this
about right. There seems to be a distinct lack of Mr Essex guitar tablature available
on the internet.
This has been written to suit my voice and my acoustic guitar - adjust as required and enjoy.
Hopefully it's somewhere near right =)
Intro (play F chord in background if you have another guitarist, or just play F instead):
* = let ring for a short while.

using electric)!
