Thats Damn Rock And Roll(Chords)

	        
(Am G D C) 

It aint a needle in a vein, 
it aint backstage sex, 
it aint lines of cocaine on a private jet, 
It aint havin a posse full of hangers on following you around, 
It aint long hair, tattoos, playin too loud, (No) 
It aint a middle finger on a t-shirt, the establishments tryin to sell, 
Its a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell, 
It aint about the money you make, when a record gets sold, 
Its about doin it for nothin, cause it lives in your soul. 

C                     D              Am  
Thats damn rock and roll, 

C                    D               Am G D C  
Thats damn rock and roll, 


          Am                                     G 
Its a rock through a window, Its a ride in the street, 

           D                           C 
Its a rebel revolution, Its fightin for pieces, 

 Am                               G  
Burn baby burn, Its a brick in the wall, 

           D                                         C 
Its the first one to stand, And the last one to fall, 

          Am                               G 
Its a hip shaking devil on the stage at 2 below, 

  D                                                C 
Its doing what ya want instead of doin what your told, 

              Am                                 G 
Its a preacher by the wreck tellin folks they outta pray, 

                    D                                           C 
Cause the shepherd boy gets them, And lead the flock a stray, 


C                      D            Am 
Thats damn rock and roll, Give all ya got till there aint nothin left, 

C                       D           Am 
Thats damn rock and roll, 


Get some grass cause the party, And the party got loud, And the party turned into  
an angry crowd. Drowning demons feel no pain, Found a lot of ways to shame. 

Am                                               G 
Gone too soon just like a song, Hendrix Joplin what went wrong? 

D                                                              C 
Need some answers right or wrong, Need some band to blame it on, 


C                      D            Am 
Thats damn rock and roll, Give all ya got till there aint nothin left, 

C                      D            Am 
Thats damn rock and roll, 


Am                G 
Another day, In Another town, 

D                                           C 
Loadin the stage, and the lights, and the sound, 

Am                       G 
Here they come boys, They ve opened doors, 

D                             C 
Count us off now Craig, (1, 2, 3, 4,) 


C                      D            Am 
Thats damn rock and roll, Give all ya got till there aint nothin left, 

C                       D            Am  
Thats damn rock and roll, Gather round till you ve broken a sweat 

C                     D  
Thats damn rock, 

C                       D            Am G D C 
Thats damn rock and roll
