Long Live Rock & Roll(Cavaco chords)

	        

Intro: G  Em  G/B  C9  D 

G 
Well I was born 
     Em 
The year that disco died 
    G/B       C9 
And U2 was in high school 
          D 
Thank the Lord that they survived 
G                        Em 
Got my first taste, on a Seger 45 
    G/B               C9 
And since that Kiss I rocked out 
            D 
All day and partied every night 

         G/B               C9                
We still argue about who's better 
       Em 
Elton John or Billy Joel 
         G/B                
We still wonder if Kurt really 
          C9               D 
Wrote the song she sang in Hole 
         G/B           C9 
No we'll never stop believing 
             Em 
That's the Journey of our lives 
               G/B               C9 
So won't you help me 'Pour Some Sugar 
'         D 
On these memories tonight? 

Sing it 

Refrão 

G 
Long live rock 
Em 
Long live roll 
          G/B               C9          D 
Long live big guitars and music for the soul 

Sing it 
G              Em 
Don't give up, don't grow old 
          G/B               C9          D 
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold 
          G/B  C9  D 
Long live rock and roll 

G                Em 
Summer of '96, I got my first guitar 
  G/B               C9           
I played it till my fingers said 
        D 
'You're gonna be a star' 
G                         Em 
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me 
    G/B               C9      
A Marshall in my Chevy Sprint 
      D 
Just running down a dream 

         G/B               C9                
We still argue about who's better 
        Em 
Motley Crew or G&R 
         G/B               C9                
We still can't believe Van Halen 
       D 
Turned into Van Hagar 
         G/B               C9                
Now the record shops are gone for good 
     Em 
And no one seems to care 
         G/B               C9                
But me and you and all our friends 
      D 
'Keep Living On That Prayer' 

Sing it 


G 
Long live rock 
Em 
Long live roll 
          G/B               C9          D 
Long live big guitars and music for the soul 

Sing it 
G              Em 
Don't give up, don't grow old 
          G/B               C9          D 
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold 
          G/B  C9  D 
Long live rock and roll 


( G/B  C9  Em ) 
( G/B  C9  D ) 

G 
Went to bed in Cleveland 
Em 
Woke up in Tennessee 
     G/B               C9        
No matter where I'll roll tonight 
    D 
I'm chasing history 

         G/B               C9                
We still argue about who's better 
    Em 
The Beatles or The Stones 
         G/B 
They're forever 27 
       C9           D 
Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones 
         G/B               C9                
And we stand here in their memory 
        Em 
'Cause their songs, they still survive 
         G/B               C9                
So throw your lighters up 
                   D 
And, darling, sing with me tonight 

Come on
