Chords for The Cats - Rock 'n Roll (Lyrics)

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ I can still remember [Ab] when I bought [Bb] my first guitar, [Eb] remember?
Just have at the feeling, [Ab] put it proudly in [Bb] my car
[Eb] And my family listened fifty [C] times to my Tucson [F] [Fm] repertoire _
And I told my mom her only [Ab] son was gonna [Eb] be a star
_ Bought all the beat records, [Ab] sounded [Bb] just like Paul
[Eb] Bought all the old chit [Ab]-chats, [Bb] 78s and all
[Eb] I sat by my record player, [C] playing every note [Fm] they played
I _ watched them all on TV, [Ab] made them [Bb] every [Eb] move I made
Rock _ and roll I gave you [Ab] all the best years of my life
All the [Bb] dreamy sunny Sundays, all [Ab] the moonlit summer [Eb] nights
I was so busy in the back room, [Ab] writing love songs to you
While you were [Bb] changing your direction, [Ab] you never [Eb] even knew
That [Bb] I was always just one [Eb] step behind _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sixty-six seemed like the [Ab] year I was really [Bb] going [Fm] somewhere
We [Eb] were living in San Francisco, [Ab] flowers [Bb] in our hair
[Eb]
Singing songs of kindness [C] so the world would [Fm] understand _
That the guys and me was something more [Ab] than just another [Bb] band
And [Eb] then 69 in LA came [Bb] around so [Eb] soon, we were really making headway
[Ab] And writing [Bb] lots of tunes, [Eb] we must have played the wildest stuff
[C]
[Fm] We'd ever played, _ the way the crowds cried out for us, well, [Bb] we had [Eb] a play
Rock and roll I gave you all [Ab] the best years of my life
All [Bb] the crazy lazy young days, [Ab] all the magic [Eb] moonlit nights
I was so busy on the road, [Ab] singing love songs to you
While you were [Bb] changing your direction, [Ab] you never [Eb] even knew _
That [Bb] I was always _ just one step [Eb]
behind

_ _ _ _ 71 and so [Ab] old When I [Bb] saw Susanna [Eb] I was trying to go it
[Ab] solo with someone [Bb] else's band.
[Eb] She came up to me lately [C] and took her [Fm] by the hand.
_ I told her all
my troubles [Ab] and she seemed to [Bb] understand.
[Eb] She followed me through London, through a hundred
[Bb] hotels, [Eb] through a hundred record companies, [Bb] her thing like my tunes.
[Eb] She followed me when finally
[C] I sold my [Fm] old guitar.
_ She tried to help me understand [Ab] I'd [Bb] never been [Eb] a star. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Rock and Roll gave you all [Ab] the best years of my life, all [Bb] the dreamy sunny Sundays, [Ab] all the moonlit summer [Eb] nights.
And though I never knew the magic [Ab] of making it with you, [Bb] I thank the Lord for giving [Ab] me the little bit [Eb] I do.
_ Rock and Roll gave you all [Ab] the best years of my life, all [Bb] the dreamy sunny Sundays, [Ab] all the [Eb] moonlit summer nights.
I wish you'd be here in this bedroom, [Ab] I'd love songs to you while [Bb] you were changing your direction.
[Ab] You never [Eb] even knew.
_ Rock and Roll gave you all [Ab] the best years of my life, all [Bb] the crazy lazy young days.
