Chords

Tune one whole step down to play along with the record (DGCFAD). Open chords sound best: G - 32003x D - xx0232 A - x0223x C - x32010 C/B - x20010 Super easy, just crank the distortion! The lick at the very end is just a simple hammer on and off between an open C and C/B chord. [Intro] G D A G (x2) [Verse 1] N.C. Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, fourteen years old N.C. And I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me N.C. On my way home, got pulled over in Rogersville Alabama N.C. With a half-ounce of weed and a case of Sterling Big Mouth
    G              D
My buddy Gene was driving

         A             G       D    A    G
he just barely turned sixteen

         G                 D
And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry"

        A              G
but we lived to tell about it

        G              D               A             G
And we lived to do a whole bunch more crazy, stupid shit
[Chorus]
       G                D
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd

       A               G
but I sure saw Molly Hatchet

      G   D               A          G
With .38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band
[Interlude] G D A G (x2) [Verse 2]
G           D            A                G
When I was seventeen, I drank a fifth of vodka

       G         D               A           G
On an empty stomach, then drove over to a friend's house

       G               D
And I backed my car between

              A                G
his parents' Cadillacs without a scratch

      G              D            A                     G
Then crawled to the backdoor and slithered through the mail hole

       G           D
And I sneaked up them stairs

     A            G
and puked in the toilet

              G                D
And I passed out and nearly drowned

                 A                 G
but his sister, Deedee, pulled me out
[Chorus]
       G                D
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd

       A               G
but I sure saw Molly Hatchet

         G              D
And the band that I was in

             A             G
played "The Boys are Back in Town"
[Interlude] G D A G (x2) [Verse 3]
G        D               A             G
Skynyrd was set to play Huntsville, Alabama

        G            D
In the spring of '77

          A                 G        D    A   G
I had a ticket but it got cancelled

         G                D
And the show, it was rescheduled

          A         G               D    A   G
for the "Street Survivors Tour"

         G             D       A       G
And the rest, as they say, is history
[Chorus]
      G                       D
So I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd

       A               G
but I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne

      G               D
With Randy Rhoads in '82

         A                    G
Right before that plane crash

       G                       D
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd

       A            G
but I sure saw AC/DC

      G         D
With Bon Scott singing

A             G
Let There Be Rock tour

      G         D
With Bon Scott singing

A             G
Let There Be Rock tour

      G         D
With Bon Scott singing

 A                   G
"LET THERE BE ROCK!"
[Outro] G D A G (x7) G D C C/B C C/B C
