Chords in (parentheses) are optionaljust slight variations with muting on the
regular chord that you only need if youre being a perfectionist. Sound-wise, it
shouldnt make much of a difference.
The blonde in the bleachers, she flips her hair for you,
A-bove the loudspeakers you start to fall.
She follows you home, but you miss livin a-lone
You can still hear sweet mysteries cal-ling you.
The bands and the roadies, lo- vin em and lea- vin em
Its pleasure to try em, its trouble to keep em.
Cause it seems like youve got- - -ta give up
Such a piece of your soul when you give up the chase.
Feeling it hot and cold, youre in rock n roll,
Its the na- - ture of the race.
Its the un- - known child, so sweet and wild,
Its youth, its too good to waste.
She tapes her re-grets to the mi- - crophone stand
She says, You cant hold the hand of a
rock n roll man ve-ry long,
Or count on your plans with a
rock n roll man ve-ry long,
Com-pete with the fans for your
rock n roll man for ve-ry long,
The girls and the bands and the rock n roll man.
