_ _ I can still remember when [F#] I bought my first [G#] guitar, remember [C#] just how good the feeling
was, [F#] put it proudly [G#] in my car, [C#] and my [F#] family listened [A#m] fifty times to my two [D#m] song repertoire,
_ and I told my mom her only [F#] son [G#] was gonna [C#] be a star.
Bought _ _ all the bleeding records, [F#] sounded [G#] just like Paul, [C#]
bought all the old Chuck [F#] Berry's
_ [G#] 78s and all, [C#]
and I sat by my record player, [F#] playing every note [D#m] they played, _ and I watched
them all on TV, [F#] making [G#] every [C#] move they made.
_ _ Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best years of my life, [G#] all the dreamy sunny Sundays, [F#] all
the moonlit [C#] summer nights that were so good in the back, [F#] writing love songs to you while
[G#] you were changing your direction, [F#] never [C#] even knew _ [G#] that I was old, _ just one [C#] step behind you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Sixty-six seemed like the [F#] year I was really [G#] going somewhere, we [C#] were living in San Francisco,
[F#] with flowers [G#] in our hair, [C#] singing [F#] songs of [A#m] kindness so [D#m] the world would understand that
the guys and me were something [F#] more than just [G#] another band.
[C#] And then 69 and LA [F#] _
[G#] came around so [C#] soon we were really making headway, [F#] and writing lots
[G#] of [C] tunes [C#] and we must have played the wildest stuff [A#] we [D#m] had ever played.
_ And the way the crowds cried out for us, [F#] [G#] the thought [C#] we had of me. _ _
Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best years of my life, [G#] all the crazy lazy [Fm] young days,
[F#] all the magic [C#] moonlit nights I was so busy on the [F#] road, singing love songs to you while
[G#] you were changing your direction, [F#] never [C#] even knew _ _ [G#] that I was old, just _ one step [F#] [C#] behind
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ you.
[C#] Seventy _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -one and so [F#] _ when I saw [C#] Suzanne [F#] I was [C#] trying to go solo [F#] with [G#] someone else's band
[C#] and she came up to [B] me [F#] later and I [A#] took her [D#m] by the hand and I told her all my [F#] troubles
and she seemed to [G#] understand and [C#] she followed me through, [F#] through a hundred [G#] hotel rooms,
[C#] through a hundred record companies, _ [F#] didn't like [G#] my tunes, [C#] she followed me when finally
[A#] I sold my [D#m] old guitar, _ and she tried to help me understand [F#] and [C#] [G#] never be [C#] a star. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best years of my life, [G#] all the dreamy sunny Sundays,
[F#] all the smooth [C#] soft nights, the lines that I never had to write, _ [F#] making it with you,
[G#] thank the Lord for giving [F#] me the evening [C#] tonight, _ _ [G#] and I will always be one step [C#] behind you.
Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best years of my life, [G#] singing out my love [F#] songs to the
bride just [C#] flashing lights, the lines that I never had to write, [F#] making it with you,
[G#] thank the Lord for giving [F#] me the evening [C#] tonight.
