A5 D5
Roland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie
A5 E5
at a rock concert back in Bayonne
A5 D5
He tried to seduce her, said he'd introduce her
E5 A5
to all of the Beatles and Stones
A5 D5
So Roland the roadie got Gertrude the groupie
A5 E5
a seat in the balcony above
A5 D5
And Gertrude the groupie felt grateful and groovy
E5 A5
but Roland the roadie felt love
E5 A5
And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops
E5 A5
And some folks love vegetable soup
E5 A5
But Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie
E5
But Gertrude the groupie loves groups
A5 D5
She stood up and screamed as the amber spot gleamed
A5 E5
on her heroes so skinny and tall
A5 D5
With their eyelids so droopy, and Gertrude the groupie
E5 A5
she was in love with them all
A5 D5
Roland the roadie told Gertrude the groupie
A5 E5
to wait and he'd be her man
A5 D5
But while he dreamed of a rose covered home
E5 A5
she was out with the group in the van
Hey Gertie, get out here, come on babe, come on out of there....
I know you're in there...
The whole trailer's moving baby....
What about me....Gertie... Oh Gertie
B5 E5
Now Roland the roadie is back on the road,
B5 F#5
his heart has been broken again
B5 E5
And Gertrude the groupie waits out in the cold
F#5 B5
for the very next group to come in
F#5 B5
And some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops
F#5 B5
And some folks loves vegetable soup
F#5 B5
And Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie
F#5 B5
but Gertrude the groupie loves groups....groups.....groups.....groups......
