[Verse 1]

Riding down the highway
B
Going to a show
B
Stop in all the by-ways
B
Playing rock 'n' roll
B
Getting robbed, getting stoned, getting beat up, broken-boned
B
Getting had, getting took, I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks
[Chorus]
B A E B
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
B A E B
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock 'n' roll band
A E B
It's a long way to the top if you wanna to rock 'n' roll
[Break]

A E B x4
[Verse 2]
B
Hotel, motel
B
Make you want to cry
B
Lady do the hard sell
B
Know the reason why

Getting old, getting grey, getting ripped off, underpaid

Getting sold, second hand, that's how it goes, playing in a band
[Chorus]
B A E B
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
B A E B
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
A E E B
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Such a long way
