You remember a song called Rock and Roll Heaven?
It was recorded several years ago by the Righteous Brothers.
Now, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield are pursuing their individual careers,
but we asked them if they'd get together tonight just one more time
to pay tribute to the Rock and Roll Immortals.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Righteous Brothers!
[C] [D]
[G] If you believe [C] in forever
And life [D] is just a one [G]-night stand
If there's a rock [C] and roll heaven
[G] You know [D] they got a hell [G] of [C] a time
[D]
[Dm] Jimmy [G] gave [B] us rainbows
[C] And [Bm] Janice took a piece [Am] of her heart
[Dm] And Keith [G] knew how to laugh the [C] blues away
[Dm] Sing a [G] song your life might [C] buy
[G] Remember Jim [Am] that way
[Dm] And now they've found [C] another place
[Am] Another place [D] to [Bm] play

Elva [G] sang and he shook the world
[C] And young [Bm] girls screamed [Am] out his name
[Dm] We crowned him king
[G] Cause we loved him [C] most of all
[Dm] Now we know [G] the king is gone
[C] [G] But the [Am] feeling's still the [Dm] same
Cause we know [C] he's singing somewhere
[Am] Where the good can never [D] fall
[G] If you [C] believe in forever
And life is [D] just a one [G]-night stand
If there's a rock [C] and roll heaven
[Am] You know they [D] got a hell [G] of a [C] band
[D]
[Bb] Now we're [Eb] lost [Bb]
[Dm] in the [G] cruelest way
[Bb] Gave her so many [Eb] songs to sing
[Am] Cause he had so much [D] to say
But then all of it came down to one [Ab] day
[Db] This [Eb] is a one [Ab]-night stand
If there's a rock [Db] and roll
[Bbm] You know they [Eb] got
[Ab] If there's a [Db]
[Ab] rock [Bbm] and roll
[Eb] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]
