Am G D C throughout
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
