_ _ _ _ _ _ Inside the wild boys home I fed
All [F] because I never felt the desire
Till the music set me on fire
[C] Then I would say
Oh [F] yeah
Well I'm keeping the [G] faith
_ [F] Yeah, yeah, [C] yeah, yeah, keeping the _ faith
_ _ _ With old man and old boots
Only bag brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Air reddest socks with the same color shirt
And a denim-tied pair of chinos
[F] I put on my short-skinned jacket
You know the time when the velvet's kind of
[C] In the middle of shades Oh yeah
_ I got my first smack of love using the mint called Sen Sen
All old man's choices and his own slides I have to share
I [F] comb my hair in a pompadour
And there is so Romeo's heart [C] coming in a wave [F] Oh yeah
We were [G] keeping the faith
[F] Yeah, [C] yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith
_ _ _ You [G] can get just [F] so much from [C] a God's bank
You [G] can hang up [F] too long in [C] your dreams
_ [G] Say goodbye to [F] the [C] oldies but goodies
[Dm] Because your own days weren't always [F] good
And all we need back is that [C] same
I learned to kick the ball as a formal education
_ I lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose no care
[F] I heard about sex but not enough
Found you could dance and still be [C] tough anyway _
All these signs
And I found out a man ain't just being _ macho
I ate an awful lot of late night driving food
I drank a lot of take-home pay
[F] I thought I was the Duke of Earl
When I made a way to Red Hat [A] girl in a [C] Chevrolet _ [F] Oh yeah
We were [G] keeping the faith
[C] Keeping _ _ the faith

_ [C] _ [D] _ _ [C] [Dm] You know the girl always a woman that way sir
[G] Tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems [C] now
I told her my reasons for the whole revival
I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shed
I'm [F] gonna listen to the 45's
Ain't it wonderful to be alive when the [C] rock and roll plays
_ [F] _ _ The [G] memories stays
[F] Oh yeah
_ [G] Keeping the _ faith
[F] _ _ [C] Keeping the faith
_ _ _ I'll keep them in faith
Oh yes sir
_ Yeah _ _ _ _ _ Oh _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ yeah
