[Verse 1]
G                               Em
Well I was born the year that disco died, and
Cadd9        G/B                               Dsus4
U2 was in high school, thank the Lord that they survived
G                                  Em
Got my first taste on a cigar 45, and
Cadd9               G/B                        Dsus4
since that kiss I rocked all day and partied every night. We still

Cadd9                    G/B                Dsus4            G
argue about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel. We still
Cadd9             G/B                    Dsus4                G
wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole. No we’ll
Cadd9           G/B                  Dsus4           G
never stop believin', it's the journey of our lives. So won’t you
Cadd9                      G/B                   Dsus4             G
help me pour some sugar on these memories tonight

Sing it

[Chorus]
G                     Em
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9        G/B                  Dsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
G                    Em
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9        G/B                     Dsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9     G/B         Dsus4
rock         and         roll

[Verse 2]
G                        Em
Summer of '96, I got my first guitar. I
Cadd9                 G/B                          Dsus4
played it till my fingers said, "You're gonna be a star"
G                                          Em
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me. A
Cadd9                G/B                       Dsus4
Marshall in my Chevy Sprint, just runnin' down a dream. We still

Cadd9                    G/B                Dsus4           G
argue about who's better, Motley Crew or G’N’R. We still
Cadd9                 G/B                 Dsus4       G
can't believe Van Halen turned into Van Hagar. Now the
Cadd9                 G/B                         Dsus4                 G
record shops are gone for good and no one seems to care, but
Cadd9                G/B                          Dsus4          G
me and you and all our friends keep livin' on that prayer

Sing it

[Chorus]
G                     Em
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9        G/B                  Dsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
G                    Em
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9        G/B                     Dsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9     G/B         Dsus4
rock         and         roll

[Instrumental] (Whoa, oh oh)
G                               Em
Cadd9        G/B            Dsus4
G                               Em
Cadd9        G/B            Dsus4

[Bridge] (Play these chords only once)
G                                                Em
Went to bed in Cleveland, woke up in Tenessee. No
Cadd9                G/B                      Dsus4
matter where I roam tonight, I'm chasing history

[Verse 3]

We still
Cadd9                      G/B            Dsus4               G
argue about who's better, The Beatles or The Stones. They’re
Cadd9   G/B              Dsus4            G
forever 27      Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones. And we
Cadd9                   G/B                             Dsus4                    G
stand here in their memory, 'Cause their songs, they still survive. So
Cadd9                    G/B                   Dsus4           G
throw your lighters up and, darling, sing with me tonight

Come on!

[Chorus] x2:
G                     Em
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9        G/B                  Dsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
G                    Em
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9        G/B                     Dsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
Cadd9     G/B         Dsus4
rock         and         roll

G                     Em
Long live rock, Long live roll
Cadd9        G/B                  Dsus4
Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sayin'
G                    Em
Don't give up, don't grow old
Cadd9        G/B                     Dsus4
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold. Long live
G                            Em
                                         Long live
Cadd9     G/B         Dsus4                    G
rock         and         roll
