            A
Well, we're big rock singers

          A
we've got golden fingers

                              E
and we're loved everywhere we go

   E
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth

   E7                     A
at ten thousand dollars a show

        A
We take all kind of pills

             A
that give us all kind of thrills,

                           D
but the thrill we've never known,

       E
is the thrill that'll gitcha

         E
when you get your picture

       E*                   A*
on the cover of the Rolling Stone
[Chorus]
N.C.    E
Rolling Stone

             E
wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone...)

A
  wanna buy five copies for my mother (Stone...)

E
  wanna see my smilin' face

       E*                   A
on the cover of the Rolling Stone
[Verse 2]
        A
I got a freaky old lady

        A
name o' Cocaine Katy

                       E
who embroideries on my jeans,

         E
I got my poor old gray-haired Daddy,

E7              A
drivin' my limousine

         A
Now it's all designed

   A
to blow our minds

                              D
but our minds won't really be blown,

         E
like the blow that'll gitcha

         E
when you get your picture

       E*                   A*
on the cover of the Rolling Stone
[Chorus]
N.C.    E
Rolling Stone

             E
wanna see my pictures on the cover (Stone...)

A
  wanna buy five copies for our mothers (Stone...)

E
  wanna see my smilin' face

         A
We got a lot of

                A
little teenage, blue-eyed groupies

                   E
who do anything we say

         E
We got a genuine Indian guru,

      E7                   A
who's teachin' us a better way

       A
We got all the friends

     A
that money can buy,

                        D
so we never have to be alone,

       E
and we keep gettin' richer,

       E
but we can't get our picture

       E*                   A*
on the cover of the Rolling Stone
[Chorus]
N.C.    E
