[Verse 1]
A#
Riding down the highway
A#
Going to a show
A#
Stop in all the by-ways
A#
Playing rock 'n' roll
A#
Getting robbed, getting stoned, getting beat up, broken-boned
A#
Getting had, getting took, I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks
[Chorus]
A# G# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
A# G# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
A# D#
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock 'n' roll band
G# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna to rock 'n' roll
[Break]
A#
G# D# A# x4
[Verse 2]
A#
Hotel, motel
A#
Make you want to cry
A#
Lady do the hard sell
A#
Know the reason why
A#
Getting old, getting grey, getting ripped off, underpaid
A#
Getting sold, second hand, that's how it goes, playing in a band
[Chorus]
A# G# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
A# G# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
A# D#
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
G# D# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
G# D# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
G# D# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
G# D# D# A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
[Outro]
A#
It's a long way
A#
Such a long way
A#
It's a long way
A#
Such a long way
