INTRO: A

A
We used to talk about the rock and the roll
A
That made it matter not to sell your soul
A                                                        
Like a banner that we held so high
A                    E
We weren't afraid to fall
E
Steady rollin' thru the warnin' signs
E
That were hidden in between the lines
E                                           
That kept us rockin' 'til the break of day
E               A    
Or any break at all

A
We used to take about a day and a night
A
Try to sing up all the soul in sight
A                                    
Anyone who couldn't see the light
A               E
We had to leave behind
E
And the sweetest thing you ever heard
E
Was the singin' of the Speckled Bird
E
And commercial was a dirty word
E                 A
We laid it on the line


CHORUS:
              A                         E
It was all so easy then, we could do no wrong
                                                 A
We'll never be the same again, but the show goes on


HARP SOLO: E   A

A
We used to drink about a bucket of booze
A
And try to chase away the black and blues
A
When it come the time to pay your dues
A            E
We gave an IOU
E
To the devil with the dirty smile
E
Which he added to the growin' pile
E
Of the promises we mean to keep
E                        A
The day your dreams come true


CHORUS (3x)
