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