Long Live Rock & Roll Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I was born
the [Em]year that disco died
And [C]U 2 was in h[G]igh school
Thank the [D]Lord that they survived
[G]Got my first taste, on a Seg[Em]er 45
And [C]since that Kiss I [G]rocked out
all day and [D]partied every night

[Pre-chorus 1]
We still [C]argue about who's [G]better
Elton [D]John or Billy [G]Joel
We still [C]wonder if Kurt [G]really
wrote the [D]song she sang in [G]Hole
No, we'll [C]never stop be[G]lieving
That's the [D]Journey of our [G]lives
So won't you [C]help me 'Pour Some [G]Sugar'
on these [D]memories to[G]night?

[Chorus 1]
Sing it
[G]Long live rock
[Em]Long live roll
[C]Long live big[G] guitars and
[D]music for the soul
Sing it
[G]Don't give up,[Em] don't grow old
[C]Long live cra[G]zy nights and
[D]records made of gold
Long live [C]rock [G]and [D]roll

[Verse 2]
[G]Summer of '96, I got[Em] my first guitar
I [C]played it till my [G]fingers said
"You're [D]gonna be a star"
[G]Grunge was everything,
at [Em]least it was to me
A [C]Marshall in my [G]Chevy Sprint
Just [D]running down a dream

[Pre-chorus 2]
We still [C]argue about who's [G]better
Motley [D]Crew or G&[G]R
We still [C]can't believe Van [G]Halen
turned [D]in to Van Ha[G]gar
Now the [C]record shops are [G]gone for good
And [D]no one seems to [G]care
But [C]me and you and [G]all our friends
'Keep [D]Living On That [G]Prayer'

[Chorus 2]
Sing it
[G]Long live rock
[Em]Long live roll
[C]Long live big[G] guitars and
[D]music for the soul
Sing it
[G]Don't give up,[Em] don't grow old
[C]Long live cra[G]zy nights and
[D]records made of gold
Long live [C]rock [G]and [D]roll

[Interlude 1]
(Whoa- [G]o- o- [Em]oa)
(Whoa- [C]o- [G]o- [D]oa)
(Whoa- [G]o- o- [Em]oa)
(Whoa- [C]o- [G]o- [D]oa)

[Bridge 1]
[G]Went to bed in Cleveland
Woke [Em]up in Tennessee
No [C]matter where I'll [G]roll tonight
I'm [D]chasing history

[Pre-chorus 3]
We still [C]argue about who's [G]better
The [D]Beatles or The [G]Stones
They're for[C]ever twenty- [G]seven
Jimmy, [D]Janis, Brian [G]Jones
And we [C]stand here in their [G]memory
'Cause their [D]songs, they still sur[G]vive
So [C]throw your lighters [G]up
And, darling, [D]sing with me to[G]night

[Chorus 3]
Come on
[G]Long live rock
[Em]Long live roll
[C]Long live big[G] guitars and mus[D]ic for the soul
Sing it
[G]Don't give up,[Em] don't grow old
[C]Long live cra[G]zy nights and
[D]records made of gold
Long live [C]rock [G]and [D]roll

[Chorus 4]
[G]Long live rock
[Em]Long live roll
[C]Long live big[G] guitars and mus[D]ic for the soul
Sing it
[G]Don't give up,[Em] don't grow old
[C]Long live cra[G]zy nights and
[D]records made of gold
(Whoa- [G]o- o- [Em]oa)
Long live [C]rock [G]and [D]roll
[G]
