TUNING: Eb
LA MI SIm RE
LA MI SIm RE MI MIsus4 MI
SOL RE/FA# MIm7 RE
I was born of 1959 that'll be the day that rock'n'roll died
FA#m SIsus4
Far away on a dark and stormy night
SOL RE/FA# MIm7 RE
Brought into the new decade, the 60's and her pearly gates
FA#m SIsus4
A hard rain fell and the times forever changed
RE FA#m
In the back of a car with the wind in our hair
MI FA#m
Speeding down the road going anywhere
RE SIm MI MIsus4 MI
Was it true we were really going nowhere
SOL RE/FA# MIm7 RE
And '68 rang like a ricochet the world arose to a nightmare day
FA#m SIsus4
Some people found their voice and a world to change
SOL RE/FA# MIm7 RE
One small step for man was one giant step for mankind
FA#m SIsus4
How I wish that we could walk that way tonight
RE FA#m
On a Woodstock field in the heat of the night
MI FA#m
Rock'n' roll music defined the times
RE SIm MI MIsus4 MI
The sound of generations collide
LA MI
These moments in time
SIm RE LA MI
Live on forever in my mind
SIm RE LA MI
Even though we've said goodbye
SIm RE MI MIsus4 MI
Live on forever in my mind
And the '70 king of rock'n'roll
In Gracelands lost his throne
There won't be any comebacks tomorrow
No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
Why they were taken away? God only knows
We formed a band we were haunted by their ghosts
I remember it now like it was yesterday
Playing those guitars at a frantic pace
Somehow we got lost along the way
Through the London streets in a taxi cab
A radio played an epitaph
Imagine, the dream is over
Oh I've been silent way too long
You never thought I knew what was going on
You probably think that you were in this song
The tragedies behind the dreams
Belie the truth and the honesty
I have seen the dirt and the glory
