[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
