Write on
C                                                       G
Shine on, get it together, let your light break through shine on
baby, shine on

C                                                    G
Write on, sitting on your own, waiting for the phone come on,
come on, come on
C                                                             G

Coming on strong

Don't feel bad 'cos the radio ain't playing 'em
It won't be long til you're going out and slayin' 'em
C
Shine on

F
You're not the first, you won't be the last
                                          C
To feel the frustration of a musical fast write on,
            G
Baby, write on

N.C.
Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul
Ballads with feeling, send your audience reeling
Rock on, rock on

F
Find a man with a van, a back up band
Who'll give you a hand on your one night stand
C
Rock on, baby, rock on

F
Give 'em your licks, getting off on their kicks
Swayin in motion to a rhythmic potion
C                  G
Rock on, baby, rock on
