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