Elliott Murphy – Last Of The Rock Stars (Ukulele)

C                    G
Naked telephone poles can't describe

Dm                    F
The way I'm feeling about you tonight

C                         G
I'm on my back like an old brown jacket

Dm                        F
Like to stay in school but I just can't hack it

C                         G
And I'm out on the street feeling like dirt

Dm                                   F
I'm afraid to get married because I know its gonna hurt

(F)         G C
And I say

G              Dm                 F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars

Dm
And me and you

C       G   Dm
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay

F                             C  G Am     C  G Am
But who will be left to play

C                          G
Well I dreamed I saw the king in a fifty three chevy

Dm                            F
Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy

C                         G
And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi

Dm                              F
I couldn't see his face 'cause of the purple haze inside

C                                G
And he was born to be the king - he was born to be the man

Dm                               F
And he died though he was holy - although I doubt he'd understand

(F)            G  C
When I say

G            Dm              F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars

Dm
And me and you

C       G    Dm
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay

F                           C  G Am
But who will be left to play

C Am  C Am ...
(just keep playing this while he presents the band or he plays 'Shout')

      C
If it means guitar you gotta have it

              Am
And you got your axe and you got your group

           C
And your old man thinks its a waste of loot

          Am
And you wait all week for a Sullivan show

C                        Am                Dm
And you know that's just where you wanna go

F
And you homework now is never complete

G
You don't care - cause you have got that beat

F C              C G           G Dm
  So a highdy hi and a heydy hey

                         Dm F                                 F C
And a girls that home on Friday night and a boy that's out to play

          C G                                    G Dm
And some of us are masters and some or us are slaves

                                F
And than there's that boy who knows he's gotta play

     C                      G
And a messy desk drawer full of broken strings

Dm                       F
You know these kids and you know of those things

G              Dm             F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars

(F)
And me and you

C          G     Dm                   F
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
