Ready Or Not is a great song for a starting guitarist, 'cause it is so easy to play. 
Almost straight eights all the time and the chords are easy, and you have a lot of time
changing them. I transcribed this with a help form a book called "Out Of This World 
- off the record compact". Sorta made the process faster... All the chords are full bars, 
except when slashes appear (/) it means quarter notes, i.e C / means that you play C 
for two beats. A few Am's and F's are played arpeggio, listen to the record which one's.

(Joey Tempest)


[Intro]
[Verse]
Ready or not but I waste no time
I'm heading out with some friends of mine
Holdin' on to what we've got
Oh even when we're ready or not

[Verse]
Ready or not but they're back in town
The word is out that this time around
They'll be lettin' go with all they've got
Oh even we're Ready or not

[Chorus]
Rock me till I hit that floor
Rock me till I take no more
Rock this hungry heart of mine
Rock me down right to the ground
Rock me like you've never done before
Then rock me just a little more

[Verse]
Ready or not but for all I know
We'll be hanging on till it's time to go 
We're always there with all we've got
Oh even if we're Ready or not

[Verse]
Ready or not but I waste no time
I'm heading out with some friends of mine
Holdin' on to what we've got
Oh even when we're ready or not
