G long, long time ago
Gm A# Dm C
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
F C/E Dm7
And I knew if I had my chance
Gm A# Dm A# C
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while

F A# F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
A# Gm Dm C
And do you have faith in God above, if the bible tells you so?

Do you believe in rock and roll
Gm7 A# Dm G7 C
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Now for ten years we've been on our own

and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang for the king and queen

in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
A# Gm Dm C
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
F C/E Dm
It landed foul on the grass
Gm7 A# Dm G7 C
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Em* D* Em* D*
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune

And there we were all in one place
A# Gm Dm C
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again

I met a girl who sang the blues
Gm A# Dm C
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store
Gm A# Dm A#
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
