[C#] [A#]
[D#] [G#]
[C#]
I can still remember [F#] when I bought my [G#] first guitar
[C#] Remember just how good the feeling [F#] was
Put it [G#] proudly in my car
[C#]
And my family [F#] listened fifty [A#m] times
To my two [D#m]-song repertoire
And I told my mum her only son [F#] was [G#] gonna be [C#] a star
Bought all the Beatle records
[F#] Sounded just [G#] like Paul
[C#] Bought all the old Chuck [F#] Berrys
Seventy [G#]-eights and all
[C#] And I sat by my record player
[A#] Playing every [D#m] note they played
And I watched them all on TV
[F#] Making [G#] [C#] every move they made
Rock and roll I gave you
All [F#] the best years of my life
All [G#] the dreamy sunny Sundays
[F#] All the moonlit [C#] summer nights
I was so busy
Writing [F#] love songs to you
While you [G#] were changing your direction
[F#] But never [C#] even knew
[G#] That I was always
Just one step [C#] behind you
Sixty-six seemed like the year
[F#] I was really going [G#] somewhere
We were [C#] living in San Francisco
[F#] Flowers in [G#] our hair
[C#] Singing [F#] songs of [A#m] kindness
So the [D#m] world would understand
That the guys and me
Were something [F#] more than just [G#] another band
[C#] And then sixty-nine in L.A.
[F#] Came [G#] around so [C#] soon
We were really making history
[F#] Writing [G#] love songs to you
[C#] We must have played the wildest stuff
[A#] We had [D#m] ever played
The way the crowds cried out for us
[G#] Thought [C#] we'd have it made
Rock and roll I gave you
[F#] All the best years of my life
[G#] All the crazy lazy Sundays
[F#] All the magic [C#] moonlit nights
I was so busy on the [F#] road
Singing love songs to you
While you [G#] were changing your direction
[F#] But never [C#] even knew
[G#] That I was always
Just one step [F#] behind [C#] you
[F#]
[G#] [C#]
[F#]
[G#] [C#]
Seventy-one in Soho
[F#] When I saw [C#] Suzanne
[G#] I was [C#] trying to go solo
[F#] With [G#] someone else's band
[C#] And she came up to [B] me, [F#] lady
And [A#] I 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 tune
[C#] She followed me when
Finally [A#] I sold my [D#m] old guitar
She tried to help me understand
[F#] [C#] I'd [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 music [C#] song nights
I never knew
[F#] Making it with you
[G#]
Thank the Lord for giving [F#] me
The little good [C#] night
And [G#] I will always
Be one step [C#]
behind you
Rock and roll I gave [F#] you
All the best years of my life
[G#] Singing out my love [F#] songs
To the bride just [C#] flashed by
I never knew
[F#] Making it with you
[G#] I thank the Lord for giving [F#] me
The little [C#] good night
Rock and roll I gave [F#] you
All the best years of my life
[G#] All the dreamy sunny Sundays
[F#] Singing out [C#] my love songs
To the bride [F#] just flashed by
[G#] I never knew
Making it with you
[F#] [C#] Thank the Lord [F#] for giving me
All the best years of my life
All [G#] the dreamy sunny Sundays
Singing [F#] out my love songs
[C#]
[F#] Making it
