[Intro]
GEmCadd9G/BDsus4
[Verse 1]
GEm
Well I was born the year that disco died, and
Cadd9G/BDsus4
U2 was in high school, thank the Lord that they survived
GEm
Got my first taste on a cigar 45, and
Cadd9G/BDsus4
since that kiss I rocked all day and partied every night. We still
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
argue about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel. We still
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole. No we’ll
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
never stop believin', it's the journey of our lives. So won’t you
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight
Sing it
[Chorus]
GEm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
GEm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9G/BDsus4
rock and roll
[Verse 2]
GEm
Summer of '96, I got my first guitar. I
Cadd9G/BDsus4
played it till my fingers said, "You're gonna be a star"
GEm
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me. A
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Marshall in my Chevy Sprint, just runnin' down a dream. We still
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
argue about who's better, Motley Crew or G’N’R. We still
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
can't believe Van Halen turned into Van Hagar. Now the
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
record shops are gone for good and no one seems to care, but
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
me and you and all our friends keep livin' on that prayer
Sing it
[Chorus]
GEm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
GEm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9G/BDsus4
rock and roll
[Instrumental] (Whoa, oh oh)
GEmCadd9G/BDsus4GEmCadd9G/BDsus4
[Bridge] (Play these chords only once)
GEm
Went to bed in Cleveland, woke up in Tenessee. No
Cadd9G/BDsus4
matter where I roam tonight, I'm chasing history
[Verse 3]
We still
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
argue about who's better, The Beatles or The Stones. They’re
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
forever 27 Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones. And we
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
stand here in their memory, 'Cause their songs, they still survive. So
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
throw your lighters up and, darling, sing with me tonight
Come on!
[Chorus] x2:
GEm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
GEm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9G/BDsus4
rock and roll
GEm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
GEm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9G/BDsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
GEm
Long live
Cadd9G/BDsus4G
rock and roll
