Intro: C      F     C      G  x2
       C      G     Dm     F

Verse 1
C                    G
Naked telephone poles can't describe
Dm                    F
The way I'm feeling about you tonight
C                         G
I'm on my back like an old brown jacket
Dm                        F
Like to stay in school but I just can't hack it
C                         G
And I'm out on the street feeling like dirt
Dm                                   F
I'm afraid to get married because I know its gonna hurt
(F)         G- C  
And I say               
  
Chorus
G              Dm                 F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars
Dm
And me and you
C       G   Dm 
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
F                             C  G-Am     C  G-Am
But who will be left to play

Verse 2
C                          G
Well I dreamed I saw the king in a fifty three chevy
Dm                            F
Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy
C                         G        
And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi
Dm                              F
I couldn't see his face 'cause of the purple haze inside
C                                G
And he was born to be the king - he was born to be the man
Dm                               F
And he died though he was holy - although I doubt he'd understand
(F)            G  C
When I say

Chorus
G            Dm              F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars
Dm
And me and you
C       G    Dm 
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
F                           C  G-Am
But who will be left to play


C Am  C Am .... (just keep playing this while he presents the band or he plays 'Shout')
 

Verse 3
      C                  
If it means guitar you gotta have it
              Am
And you got your axe and you got your group
           C                       
And your old man thinks its a waste of loot
          Am                          
And you wait all week for a Sullivan show
C                        Am                Dm
And you know that's just where you wanna go 
F
And you homework now is never complete
G
You don't care - cause you have got that beat

Verse 4
F-C              C-G           G-Dm
  So a highdy hi and a heydy hey
                                              
                         Dm-F                                 F-C
And a girls that home on Friday night and a boy that's out to play
          C-G                                    G-Dm
And some of us are masters and some or us are slaves

                                F
And than there's that boy who knows he's gotta play
     C                      G
And a messy desk drawer full of broken strings
Dm                       F
You know these kids and you know of those things


Chorus
G              Dm             F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars
(F)
And me and you
C          G     Dm                   F
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
