Rock & Roll Gave You The Best Years Of My Life
Ton : CCapo 1English
Couplet
CI can still remember when I Fbrought my first G7guitar
Remember Cjust how good the feeling was put it Fproudly in my G7car
And my Cfamily listened fifty times to my A7two song reperDmtoire
And I told my mom her only son was Fgonna G7be a Cstar
Brought all the Beatles records Fsounded just like GPaul
CBrought all the old Chuck Berry's Fseventy eights and G7all
And CI sat by my record player A7playing every note they Dmplayed
And I watched them all on TV making Fevery G7move they Cmade
Refrain
CRock and Roll I gave you all the Fbest years of my life
All the G7dreamy sunny sundays all the Fmoonlit summer Cnights
I was so Cbusy in the backroom writing Flove songs to you
While you were G7changing your direction and you Fnever even Cknew
That I was G7always just one step behind you
Couplet
C'66 seemed like the year I was Freally going G7somewhere
We were Cliving in San Francisco with Fflowers in our G7hair
CSinging songs of kindness so the A7world would undersDmtand
That the guys and me were something more than Fjust another G7band
CAnd then '69 in LA Fcame around so Gsoon
CWe were really making head way Fwriting lots of Gtunes
CAnd we must have played the wildest stuff A7we had ever Dmplayed
And the crowds cried out for us well we thought Fwe G7had it Cmade
Refrain
CRock and Roll I gave you all the Fbest years of my life
All the G7crazy lazy young days all the Fmagic moonlit Cnights
I was so Cbusy on the road singing Flove songs to you
While you were G7changing your direction and you Fnever even Cknew
That I was G7always just one step behind you

C'71 in Soho Fwhen I saw G7Suzanne
CI was trying to go it Solo with Fsomeone else's G7band
CAnd she came up to me later and A7took her by the Dmhand
And I told her all my troubles and she Fseemed to unG7derstand
CAnd she followed me through London through a Fhundred hotel Grooms
CThrough a hundred record companies who Fdidn't like my Gtunes
CAnd she followed me when finally I A7sold my old Dmguitar
And she tried to help me understand I'd Fnever G7be a Cstar
Refrain
CRock and Roll I gave you all the Fbest years of my life
All the G7dreamy sunny sundays all the Fmoonlit summer Cnights
CAnd though I never knew the magic of Fmaking it with you
I G7thank the lord for giving me the Flittle bit I Cknew
And I will G7always be one step behind Cyou
Refrain
CRock and Roll I gave you all the Fbest years of my life
G7Singing out my love songs on a Fbright lit magic Cnight
And Cthough I never knew the magic of Fmaking it with you
G7I thank the lord for giving me the Flittle bit I Cknew
Refrain
CRock and Roll I gave you all the Fbest years of my life
All the G7dreamy sunny sundays all the Fmoonlit summer Cnights
I was Cso busy in the backroom writing Flove songs for you
While you were G7changing your direction and you Fnever even Cknew
