Verse
I've been away so long I hardly knew the place
C#
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
C#
From lawyers, lovers, monies and a lawman's son
You though tit was the last you heard from me
F#
Well you better back up to catch up with me
G#
'Cause I'm livin' in the fast, speeding like a steam train
Just before I fall, just before I fall off the track
(Chorus)
C# B F# B
Taking it back
C# B F# B
I'm taking it back
C# B F#
Taking it back
G#
You took it away, took it away
F# (repeat riff2)
All I can say is we're taking it back
(VERSE)
C#
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
F#
'Cause I'm livin' in the fast lane, coming like a hurricane
G#
C# snake without a rattle, baby that's a matter of fact
(Chorus)
C# B F# B
Taking it back
C# B F# B
I'm taking it back
C# B F#
Taking it back
G#
You took it away, took it away
F# (repeat riff2)
All I can say is we're taking it back
(SOLO)
D# F# D# G#
(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)
C# B F# B
Taking it back
C# B F# B
Taking it back
C# B F# B
Taking it back
C# B F# B
Taking it back
B C C# B C C#
