Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In [Gm]the w[G]orld of rock and roll,
[F]there is no time to stop.
[C]It's a fast lane to a fast pla[D]ne
when you're flying for the top.
[G]And the bright lights fall down on
you and the money [F]does the same.
And all those [C]hungry people are
screaming out your [F]name.[C][F][Gm]
[G]And the little teeny -boppers will
beg for [F]one -night stands
So [C]they can feel important when
they tell all their [D]friends
An[Gm]d the one you [G]hate the most is
the [F]newest up -and -coming
And [C]the one you love the most just
[Fm]ran off with your [F]drummer[G]
And the angels will abuse you
[F]Promoters want to use you
[C]So they can line their pockets
With what's left [D]down in your soul
An[G]d all that autographing
And [F]all those people clapping
There [G]ain't [C]no time for nappin'
In the [F]world [C]of the [F]rock 'n [Eb]'roll
[Gm][Eb][Gm][Eb][Gm][Eb][G]
[F][C][F][G][F]
[C]I b[F]lew[Gm] him all away in[G]
Cin[D]cinnati
I left them in their eyes in
L [Gm].A.
[C]Had[Gm] them standing out
the door down in
[D]Miami
They were lined up clear to
Tampa
[G]Bay
Tomor[C]row it's another show,
[G]talking on the radio
And [F]rolling down that [C]lost high[D]way
So [C]hang on baby, it's a [G]fast ride maybe
But it's [D]rock and roll, it's a rock and roll
It's a rock and roll, it's a rock and roll
[Gm]You know I[G] don't really lo[D]ve you
You know I won't remember your [Gm]name
But you know if [G]you don't
wanna [D]love me
I've got another girl on [G]the way[Gm]
Tomor[C]row it's another show
Dal[G]las,
San
Antonio,
Chica[F]go,
San
Fran[C]cisco,
Bom[D]bay
So [C]hang on baby, it's a [Gm]fast [G]ride
But it's [D]rock and roll, it's a rock and roll
It's a rock and roll, it's a rock and [G]roll[D]
[Dsus4][D][Gm][C][G]
[D][Gm][G][C]
[G][F][C][D]
It's [C]alright,
[G]we're gon[C]na rock all nig[G]ht baby
[C]It's [G]alright, cause it's [D]rock and roll
It's al[C]right,
[G]we're gonna roc[C]k all nig[G]ht, baby
[C]It's [G]alright, cause it's [D]rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
[G]Well,
Janet died when she [D]was sleeping
I was only seven[G]teen[C]
[G]Elba started home in
[D]Memphis
But that won't ever happen to [Gm]me
So [C]line me up and let me go,
I've [G]got to do another show
I'm [F]bringing people [C]down to their [D]knees
So [C]hang on, baby, it's a [G]fast ride, babe
But it's [D]a rock and roll,
it's a rock and roll
It's a rock and roll, it's a rock and roll
It's a [G]rock and roll, it's a [D]rock and roll
It's a [G]rock 'n 'roll
