D5                   C5 
I can't believe y'all are still sayin' 
        G5 
We're a long way from rock'n'roll 
          D5                        C5 
You won't look for the good in the tunes we're playin' 
    G5 
You prefer to say we got no soul 

    E5               A5 
But day after day in town after town 
G5                      D5 
People say we're doin' alright 
   E5               A5   
We play and we stay boogyin' down 
G5 
Rockin' on into the night 

It's breath and words and time you're wastin' 
When you should be tryin' to have a good time 
For a good few years it's been yours we've tasted 
So here's a little piece of our mind 

We'll roll and we'll roll and we'll roll and we'll roll 
Till we run out of reason to try 
If it happens you don't approve 
It doesn't matter we won't ask why 

    A5                      B5   
You can't keep a good band {Bm}down 
       D5                 A5 
You'll never find the solution 
    A5                     B5 
You won't stop us runnin' around 
       D5                      A5 
You're dealin' with an institution 

We'll fill our cup with wine while you 
Fill your head with high ideals 
You }know so much but you still can't touch 
Tillyou find out how it feels 

It'll take much more than the high and mighty 
To bring down the king of the road 
We could {still be friends and quit this fightin' 
And let the real story be told 

You see you {A}can't keep a good band {Bm}down 
You'll {D}never find the solu{A}tion 
You {A}won't stop us runnin' {Bm}around 
You're {D}dealin' with an institu{A}tion 

You can't keep a good band down 
You'll never find the solution 
You won't stop us runnin' around 
With your paragraphs of pollution
