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......
