D5           C5                 G5
There was a day when I was so lonely
D5              C5                       G5
Time passed me by I was more dead than alive
D5     C5                  G5
Every minute was like an hour
D5     C5                G5
Every day was an eternity
D5            C5             G5
I looked for hope but all around me
D5      C5              G5
People didn't seem to care

E5                                 G5
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
               E5           G5
That rock 'n' roll

D5         C5                       G5
If I ever thought that I could be happy
D5           C5                 G5
Dreams like that always faded away
D5           C5                 G5
And all the girls already had boyfriends
D5      C5                    G5
I was alone as lonely could be
D5       C5                       G5
I laid asleep and turned on the radio
D5            C5                G5
The music to me was like a dream

E5                                 G5
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
               E5           G5
That rock 'n' roll

D5        C5                           G5
You walk around but you gotta have a reason
D5               C5                         G5
Something worth getting up in the morning for
D5                  C5                   G5
My heart looked to art and I found the Beatles
D5        C5                 G5
Oh God I was and am a true disciple
D5            C5                        G5
Look for the fun you'll start a happy cycle
D5              C5             G5
The music will make you come alive

E5                                 G5
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
               E5           G5
That rock 'n' roll

E5  G5  A5
  She was crying just like a baby
E5  G5  A5
  Didn't wanna fight or more like maybe
E5  G5  A5
  You ought to get on home at night
E5  G5  A5
  Keep the battle to the right
E5  G5  A5
  Seeing the love and adultry
E5  G5  A5
  And wonderin' who was in the outfield
E5  G5  A5
  Swear I know the truth
E5  G5  A5
  And I ain't wearin' nobody's shoes
E5  G5  A5
  I got some dollar on high look out now
E5  G5  A5
  It's shining, with a bottle of knuckleheads
E5  G5  A5
  She's like a drunken rat cat, oh
E5  G5  A5
  I guess you're coming out the backdoor
E5  G5  A5
  She did all right it's a battle or fight
E5  G5  A5
  So I feel all empty now
E5  G5  A5
  You try to hold a figure eight
E5  G5  A5
  She said what's the Anti-Christ
E5  G5  A5
  He said oh what did you do to her
E5  G5  A5
  It's probably she's been talking to Lucifer
E5  G5  A5
  Is that really the night
E5  G5  A5
  Oh, my, uh, uh
E5  G5  A5
  Alright
E5  G5  A5
  Hey!
