 D           C                 G     
 There was a day when I was so lonely
 D              C                       G    
 Time passed me by I was more dead than alive
 D     C                  G   
 Every minute was like an hour
 D     C                G 
 Every day was an eternity
 D            C             G       
 I looked for hope but all around me
 D      C              G   
 People didn't seem to care
 
 E                                 G   
 Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
                E  G 
 That rock 'n' roll
 
 D         C                       G    
 If I ever thought that I could be happy
 D           C                 G   
 Dreams like that always faded away
 D           C                 G         
 And all the girls already had boyfriends
 D      C                    G 
 I was alone as lonely could be
 D       C                       G    
 I laid asleep and turned on the radio
 D            C                G 
 The music to me was like a dream
 
 E                                 G   
 Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
                E  G 
 That rock 'n' roll
 
 D        C                           G     
 You walk around but you gotta have a reason
 D               C                         G  
 Something worth getting up in the morning for
 D                  C                   G      
 My heart looked to art and I found the Beatles
 D        C                 G       
 Oh God I was and am a true disciple
 D            C                        G    
 Look for the fun you'll start a happy cycle
 D              C             G    
 The music will make you come alive
 
 E                                 G   
 Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
                E  G 
 That rock 'n' roll
 
 
 E G A                               
    She was crying just like a baby
 E G A                                     
    Didn't wanna fight or more like maybe
 E G A                                 
    You ought to get on home at night
 E G A                            
    Keep the battle to the right
 E G A                           
    Seeing the love and adultry
 E G A                                     
    And wonderin' who was in the outfield
 E G A                      
    Swear I know the truth
 E G A                                  
    And I ain't wearin' nobody's shoes
 E G A                                      
    I got some dollar on high look out now
 E G A                                           
    It's shining, with a bottle of knuckleheads
 E G A                                
    She's like a drunken rat cat, oh
 E G A                                      
    I guess you're coming out the backdoor
 E G A                                        
    She did all right it's a battle or fight
 E G A                       
    So I feel all empty now
 E G A                              
    You try to hold a figure eight
 E G A                               
    She said what's the Anti-Christ
 E G A                                 
    He said oh what did you do to her
 E G A                                           
    It's probably she's been talking to Lucifer
 E G A                        
    Is that really the night
 E G A              
    Oh, my, uh, uh
 E G A       
    Alright
 E G A   
    Hey
