Chords

Note: Am G D C throughout [Intro] N.C. It ain't a needle in a vein it ain't backstage sex it ain't lines of cocaine on a private jet It ain't havin' a posse full of hangers on following you around It ain't long hair, tattoos, playin too loud (No) It ain't a middle finger on a t-shirt, the establishment tryin' to hell It's a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell It ain't about the money you make, when a record gets sold It's about doin' it for nothin', cause it lives in your soul

C                      D       Am
That's damn rock and roll

C                     D        Am G D C
That's damn rock and roll

[Verse 1]

           Am                                      G
It's a rock through a window, it's a riot in the street

            D                             C
It's a rebel revolution, it's fightin' for peace

 Am                                G 
Burn baby burn, it's a brick in the wall

            D                                         C
It's the first one to stand, and the last one to fall

           Am                               G
It's a hip shaking devil on a stage in Tupelo

   D                                                  C
It's doin' what ya want instead of doin' what you're told

               Am                                 G
It's a preacher burnin' records, tellin' folks they oughta pray

                     D                                           C
'Cause the shepherd bought a Gibson, and lead the flock astray

[Chorus]

C                       D            Am
That's damn rock and roll, give all ya got till there ain't nothin' left

C                        D           Am
That's damn rock and roll

[Bridge] N.C. The Clash crashed the party, and the party got loud, and the party turned into an angry crowd. Drowning demons feel no pain, found Nirvana ways to shame

Am                                                 G
Gone too soon just like a song, Hendrix, Joplin, what went wrong?

D                                                              C
Need some answers right or wrong, need some band to blame it on

[Chorus]

C                       D            Am
That's damn rock and roll, give all ya got till there ain't nothin' left

C                      D            Am
Thats damn rock and roll

[Verse 2]

Am                G
Another day, in another town

D                                            C
Loadin' the stage, and the lights, and the sound

Am                       G
Here they come boys, they've opened doors

D                            C
Count us off now Craig (1, 2, 3, 4,)

[Chorus]

C                       D            Am
That's damn rock and roll, give all ya got till there ain't nothin' left

C                        D             Am
That's damn rock and roll, gather 'round till you've broken a sweat

[Outro]

C                   D
That's damn rock

C                        D      Am G D C
That's damn rock and roll
