Verse
I've been away so long I hardly knew the place
B
It's been too long since I've been around
Just like I rolling stone I ain't go no home
(Repeat the RIFF2)
But my boys are back in town
It's been two long years that I've been on the run
B
From lawyers, lovers, monies and a lawman's son
You though tit was the last you heard from me
E
Well you better back up to catch up with me
F#
'Cause I'm livin' in the fast, speeding like a steam train
Just before I fall, just before I fall off the track
(Chorus)
B A E A
Taking it back
B A E A
I'm taking it back
B A E
Taking it back
F#
You took it away, took it away
E (repeat riff2)
All I can say is we're taking it back
(VERSE)
B
I'm the same old dog that I used to be
The word's all over town that you've been looking for me
I'm no different that I was before
Give you what you need and then I'm out the door
E
'Cause I'm livin' in the fast lane, coming like a hurricane
F#
B snake without a rattle, baby that's a matter of fact
(Chorus)
B A E A
Taking it back
B A E A
I'm taking it back
B A E
Taking it back
F#
You took it away, took it away
E (repeat riff2)
All I can say is we're taking it back
(SOLO)
C# E C# F#
(VERSE) (repeat the riff2)
I've been away so long it's good to see your face
Barkeep, won't you buy me a round?
Raise a glass to the good times past
Then we'll tear this damn place down
(Chorus)
B A E A
Taking it back
B A E A
Taking it back
B A E A
Taking it back
B A E A
Taking it back
A A# B A A# B
