[Verse 1]
C#
Riding down the highway
C#
Going to a show
C#
Stop in all the by-ways
C#
Playing rock 'n' roll
C#
Getting robbed, getting stoned, getting beat up, broken-boned
C#
Getting had, getting took, I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks
[Chorus]
C# B F# C#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
C# B F# C#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
C# F#
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock 'n' roll band
B F# C#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna to rock 'n' roll
[Break]

[Verse 2]
C#
Hotel, motel
C#
Make you want to cry
C#
Lady do the hard sell
C#
Know the reason why
C#
Getting old, getting grey, getting ripped off, underpaid
C#
Getting sold, second hand, that's how it goes, playing in a band
[Chorus]
C# B F# C#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
C# B F# C#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
B F# F# C#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
B F# F# C#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
