CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC


I watched him take the stage
    FF       C majorC
Like a giant there before me
 FF              Csus4Csus4
A augmentedA poet of the people standing tall
C majorC
Flood lights beaming red
  FF         C majorC
On steel strings and sweat
      FF                G+G
The finest tunes that ever echoed off those walls

    C majorC
And the power of his voice
  FF       C majorC
All rage, fire and thunder
 FF          C majorC     FF         G+G
I knew that I had changed and I'd never be the same
  C majorC
Now every time since then
    FF        C majorC
When I hear his voice again
   FF       G+G   C majorC
I get carried back to that day


CHORUS:
       G+G    FF    C majorC
'Cause it was rock 'n roll to me
      G+G     FF    C majorC
He might as well have been the King
      A minorAm
Now I could walk a thousand miles
       G+G        C majorC
And it would be like I stood still
     Dm7Dm7    FF
Spend my whole life trying
    Dm7Dm7  FF     C majorC    Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC
And I'd never fill those shoes

I got my first guitar
   FF         C majorC
When I was twelve years old
     FF             Csus4Csus4
It was a fifteen dollar flea market prize
C majorC
Something in me burned
    FF         C majorC
From my fingers through my veins
    FF              G+G
And the fullest moon lit the darkest skies


  C majorC
Now I'm just one of many
    FF       C majorC
Setting out along this path
   FF         C majorC
Over dirt roads that he paved
  FF         G+G
And new roads that he made
C majorC
Searching for a song
     FF       C majorC
With his 🏷Legend shining on
     FF        G+G       C majorC
Like the Queensport Light glowing in the bay


CHORUS:
    G+G    FF    C majorC
It was rock 'n roll to me
      G+G     FF    C majorC
He might as well have been the King
      A minorAm
Now I could walk a thousand miles
       G+G        C majorC
And it would be like I stood still
     Dm7Dm7    FF
Spend my whole life trying
    Dm7Dm7  FF     C majorC
And I'd never fill those shoes


INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC  FF C majorC FF  Dm7Dm7  C majorC  FF C majorC FF G+G C majorC


CHORUS:
    G+G    FF    C majorC
It was rock 'n roll to me
      G+G     FF    C majorC
He might as well have been the King
      A minorAm
Now I could walk a thousand miles
       G+G        C majorC
And it would be like I stood still
     Dm7Dm7    FF
Spend my whole life trying
    Dm7Dm7  FF     C majorC
And I'd never fill those shoes
  Dm7Dm7  FF     C majorC
