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