One time I had this little [A] band back [D] home, [E]
a rock and roll [Em] band.
And we was going to play this job one night, and it wasn't too far away, so we was walking.
[E] Well, we came upon this long black stretch of woods.
Had an old river running through [A] it, [Em] and an old wooden bridge across the river.
[Bm] [E] Well, just [D] as I was about to step up on the bridge, [E] out stepped a [D] troll.
[Am] [E] An almighty [G] troll.
[D] [E] He said, hey, [G] [A] looks like y'all going to play [G] somewhere.
[D] I said, yes sir.
[G]
He said, [D] look, like I [G] hate to mess with y'all's job, [D] but I sure [Em] could dig hearing a little music.
I said, man, we can't just plug up and play right here on the bridge.
[D] [Em] He said, why?
I said, uh, oh.
[A]
He [E] said, play.
And that's what we did.
Well, the wind was howling at the night, and the moon was covered up in clouds.
Walking across the [D] bridge on [E] the dirt road, [Em] when I heard the troll growl.
He said, don't you go walking across my bridge, [G]
[E] or I'm going to make it rough on you.
I will give you some fever, and you'll be wondering [D] if you're [G] you.
[Em] You know you've got to pay the toll, don't even troll the rock and roll.
[E]
Oh, it will keep you up all night, [Em] drinking and a-carrying on.
[E] Getting into the slow music, get it on, get it on.
[D] [A] Oh, you know you've got to pay my toll, [Em] don't even troll the rock and roll.
[D] [Em]
[G] [E] [G]
[D] [E] He said, hey, he said, look, y'all [Em] ain't making it.
[E]
He said, would you mind if I [G] barge that old guitar of yours and show y'all a little lick?
[E] But since we never heard a troll play, [G] we let him have it.
[E] And he said, like it's right here now.
[B] [Em]
[A] [Em]
Oh, yeah.
I said, yes, sir, troll, you can play.
[E] [D] [E]
[D] Oh, [Em] the fever's not really such a bad thing.
[E] It's just hard to understand.
But when you see me start to move it, well, you know it's got me by the hand.
Oh, [A] you know you've got to pay the toll, don't [N] even troll the rock and [Em] roll.
