[A]
[E]
[A]
I want [E]
to leave a happy memory when I go.
I want to leave something to let the whole world know
that [A] the rock and roll can be fun.
I'm glad I have a gun passed on,
but [E] my home will be the rock and roll after I'm gone.
A roll-on, a rock-on, with [A] raw bones.
[E] Well, it's chillin' like a rickle in this rock and roll.
[B]
[A] [E]
Well, when I die, don't you bury me at all.
Just nail my bones up on the wall.
[A] Let me see bones, let these words be seen.
[E] This is the bloody gear that my rotten chain are on.
A rock-on, narrow [A]
vein.
Well, [E] it's chillin' like a rickle on this rock and roll.
[B]
[A] [E]
I ain't worried about tomorrow, just a-thinkin' about tonight.
My bones are gettin' priceless, blue and bright.
[A] A few more times around the hardwood floor,
there'll [E] always turn out the light.
A roll-on, yeah!
[A]
[E] Well, it's chillin' like a rickle on this rock, rock-on,
rock-on, rock-on, rock-on, rock-on, rock-on.
