[Verse 1]
D# Cm
Well I was born the year that disco died, and
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
U2 was in high school, thank the Lord that they survived
D# Cm
Got my first taste on a cigar 45, and
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
since that kiss I rocked all day and partied every night. We still
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
argue about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel. We still
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole. No we’ll
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
never stop believin', it's the journey of our lives. So won’t you
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight
Sing it
[Chorus]
D# Cm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
D# Cm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
rock and roll
[Verse 2]
D# Cm
Summer of '96, I got my first guitar. I
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
played it till my fingers said, "You're gonna be a star"
D# Cm
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me. F
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Marshall in my Chevy Sprint, just runnin' down a dream. We still
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
argue about who's better, Motley Crew or G’N’R. We still
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
can't believe Van Halen turned into Van Hagar. Now the
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
record shops are gone for good and no one seems to care, but
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
me and you and all our friends keep livin' on that prayer
Sing it
[Chorus]
D# Cm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
D# Cm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
rock and roll
[Instrumental] (Whoa, oh oh)
D# Cm

[Bridge] (Play these chords only once)
D# Cm
Went to bed in Cleveland, woke up in Tenessee. No
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
matter where I roam tonight, I'm chasing history
[Verse 3]
We still
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
argue about who's better, The Beatles or The Stones. They’re
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
forever 27 Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones. And we
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
stand here in their memory, 'Cause their songs, they still survive. So
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
throw your lighters up and, darling, sing with me tonight
Come on!
[Chorus] x2:
D# Cm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
D# Cm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
rock and roll
D# Cm
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
D# Cm
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
D# Cm
Long live
Cadd9 D#/G A#sus4 D#
rock and roll
GREAT song.
I'm not too good with my music theory, so these might not be the correct chord names,
but just follow the little tabs at the top and you're good to go!
If you think I'm wrong, tell me! I'll correct it right away.
