G Em
Well I was born the year that disco died, and
C9 G/B D4
U2 was in high school, thank the Lord that they survived
G Em
Got my first taste on a cigar 45, and
C9 G/B D4
since that kiss I rocked all day and partied every night. We still
C9 G/B D4 G
argue about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel. We still
C9 G/B D4 G
wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole. No we?ll
C9 G/B D4 G
never stop believin', it's the journey of our lives. So won?t you
C9 G/B D4 G
help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight
Sing it
G Em
Long live rock, Long live roll
C9 G/B D4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
G Em
Don't give up, don't grow old
C9 G/B D4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
C9 G/B D4
rock and roll
G Em
Summer of '96, I got my first guitar. I
C9 G/B D4
played it till my fingers said, "You're gonna be a star"
G Em
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me. A
C9 G/B D4
Marshall in my Chevy Sprint, just runnin' down a dream. We still
C9 G/B D4 G
argue about who's better, Motley Crew or G?N?R. We still
C9 G/B D4 G
can't believe Van Halen turned into Van Hagar. Now the
C9 G/B D4 G
record shops are gone for good and no one seems to care, but
C9 G/B D4 G
me and you and all our friends keep livin' on that prayer
Sing it
G Em
Long live rock, Long live roll
C9 G/B D4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
G Em
Don't give up, don't grow old
C9 G/B D4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
C9 G/B D4
rock and roll
Instrumental: (Whoa, oh oh)
G Em
Went to bed in Cleveland, woke up in Tenessee. No
C9 G/B D4
matter where I roam tonight, I'm chasing history
We still
C9 G/B D4 G
argue about who's better, The Beatles or The Stones. They?re
C9 G/B D4 G
forever 27 Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones. And we
C9 G/B D4 G
stand here in their memory, 'Cause their songs, they still survive. So
C9 G/B D4 G
throw your lighters up and, darling, sing with me tonight
Come on!
