G5                                             C5                           G5                         C5 
He rocked his way through yesterday, lord he thought he had a chance 
G5                                   C5                           A5          D5 
He played guitar and wrote some tunes, of love and romance 
     A5                        D5                   G5                     C5 
He did his share of travelin', like a dog without a home 
                                  D5                  G5                       E5 
A fugitive who would rather give, a star that never shone 
 

             A5  D5                    A5   D5 
Isn't it a pity,      isn't it a shame 
                      A5 
No one ever warned the boy 
              D5             C5        G5    D5  C5  G5  D5  C5 
Rock n' roll is a vicious game,                     oh yeah 
 

      G5                            C5                     G5                        C5 
He said he wouldn't get led around, or caught up in the games 
      G5                  C5             A5                  D5 
Or end up in a gallery, of faces with no names 
         A5                   D5                        G5                  C5 
And rock 'n' roll was in his soul, and music was a friend 
       A5                                           D5                                 G5                  E5 
He recorded a song that made us sing along, and he was on the road again 
 

               A5  D5              A5   D5 
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame 
                        A5 
No one ever warned the boy 
                D5           C5        G5    D5  C5  G5  D5   
Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh yeah, oh oh 
 
BRIDGE: 
C5 D5 E5 

                                    D5                       C5 
Stage fright, ooh, and long black limousines 
           F5                         C5                       D5 
He's pushing himself a way too hard, or so it seems 
 

G5                            C5                     G5                        C5 
He opened up his heart to us, he gave us what he could 
  G5                                 C5                       A5                    D5 
We symphathized and harmonized, he made us all feel good 
               A5                     D5                                  G5                        C5 
But it's funny how those things can change, and time can pass us by 
A5                                D5                 G5                    E5 
Songs that moved us so easily, no longer make us cry 
                       A5  D5                    A5  D5 
Now isn't it a pity,         isn't it a shame 
                       A5 
No one ever warned the boy 
               D5            C5        G5       G5  D5   C5 
Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh 
         G5    G5    D5 C5               G5          G5       D5    C5 
Oh yeah, oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah 
              G5                              D5         C5          G5 
My my my, rock 'n roll is a vicious game, yeah 
                   D5         C5                           G5            
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh  FADE
