Chords

[Verse 1]
D           C                 G
There was a day when I was so lonely

D              C                       G
Time passed me by I was more dead than alive

D     C                  G
Every minute was like an hour

D     C                G
Every day was an eternity

D            C             G
I looked for hope but all around me

D      C              G
People didn't seem to care
[Chorus]
E                                 A
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul

               E    G
That rock 'n' roll
[Verse 2]
D         C                       G
If I ever thought that I could be happy

D           C                 G
Dreams like that always faded away

D           C                 G
And all the girls already had boyfriends

D      C                    G
I was alone as lonely could be

D       C                       G
I laid asleep and turned on the radio

D            C                G
The music to me was like a dream
[Chorus]
E                                 A
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul

               E     G
That rock 'n' roll
[Verse 3]
D        C                           G
You walk around but you gotta have a reason

D               C                         G
Something worth getting up in the morning for

D                  C                   G
My heart looked to art and I found the Beatles

D        C                 G
Oh God I was and am a true disciple

D            C                        G
Look for the fun you'll start a happy cycle

D              C             G
The music will make you come alive
[Chorus]
E                                 A
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul

               E    G    E    G
That rock 'n' roll
[Coda]
E   G  A        E
        She was crying

G  A           E
   Just like a baby

G  A              E
     Didn't wanna fight

G  A              E
     Or more like maybe

G  A              E
     You ought to get on home at night

G  A          E
     Keep the battle to the right

G  A            E
     Seeing the love and adultry

G  A               E
     And wonderin' who was in the outfield

G  A    E
        Swear I know the truth

G  A             E
     And I ain't wearin' nobody's shoes

G  A            E
     I got some dollar on high look out

G  A      E
     It's shining

G  A        E
     With a bottle of knuckleheads

G  A              E
     She's like a drunken rat cat, oh

G  A                E
     I guess you're coming out the backdoor

G  A     E
     She did all right

G  A        E
     It's a battle or fight

G  A      E
     So I feel all empty now

G  A            E
     You try to hold a figure eight

G  A          E
     She said what's the Anti-Christ

G  A            E
     He said oh what did you do to her

G  A             E
   It's probably she's been talking to Lucifer

G  A         E
     Is that really the night

G  A    E   G  A    E    G  A   E
    Oh, my       Uh huh       Alright
