1973 chords by Ashley Sofia

• Capo on 3rd

Intro:

G   D   Em  C

Verse 1:
G               D         Em
The craziest thing; being 23
                                C
And looking in the mirror and seeing what I see
G                             D
I’m an awful lot like my old man
                              Em
Running away with a rock and roll band
                        C
Sometimes I think it’s more than my Ma can stand

Prechorus:
Am                        C
But I won’t give up this dream
Am                       C
The one my daddy gave to me


Chorus:
G                                D
Cause I was raised on Rock and Roll
                                Em
Singin’ Neil Young’s ‘Heart of Gold,’
                             C
This old guitar has always lead me home
   G                        D
Stompin’ my feet on wooden boards
                                 Em
Strummin’ these same damn old chords
                                   C
Singin’ those songs till we got hoarse
Am                           C
No I won’t give up this dream
Am                       C           G    D       Em  C
The one my daddy gave to me- from 1973      From 1973


Verse 2:
G                        D
When I’m back in my hometown
                                Em
He takes my bags and says he’s proud
                          C
But sometimes I play a little too loud, I laugh
 G                               D
It’s the same back then as it is now
                               Em
Your old man would climb the stairs and pound your door
          C
Sayin’ “Billy, turn it down!”


Chorus 2:
          G                           D
Back when, you were playing  Rock and Roll
                                Em
Singin’ Neil Young’s ‘Heart of Gold,’
                             C
This old guitar has always lead you home
     G                          D
To stompin’ your feet on wooden boards
                                 Em
Strummin’ these same damn old chords
                                   C
Singing those songs till you got hoarse
Am                           C
And no I won’t give up this dream
Am                   C
The one you gave to me-
       G    D        Em   C

  Em                                  C

G                     D                     Em
No, i’ve never been alone, I’ve never been alone
             C
I’ve never spent one day alone


Chorus:
      G                          D

To stompin’ my feet on wooden boards
                                 Em
Strummin’ these same damn old chords
                                   C
Singin’ those songs till we got hoarse

Am                        C
