Rock N Roll I Gave You All The Best Years Of My Life chords by Johnson Kevin

I have just tidied up his version and corrected some lyrics.
WayneXG95 had the right chords but it needs a capo on the first fret.

Rock & Roll (I gave you all the best years of my life)
Kevin Johnson

Intro  C  Strummed/Picked Slowly (Capo 1)

Verse 1

G7
I can still remember when I brought my first guitar
         G7
Remember just how good the feeling was put it proudly in my car
       Dm
And my family listened fifty times to my two song repertoire
                                   C
And I told my mom her only son was gonna be a star
                                G
Brought all the Beatles records sounded just like Paul
G7
Brought all the old Chuck Berry's seventy eights and all
    Dm
And I sat by my record player playing every note they played
                                    C
And I watched them all on TV making every move they made

Chorus
F
Rock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
        C
All the dreamy sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights
         F
I was so busy in the backroom writing love songs to you
               C
While you were changing your direction and you never even knew
           G7
That I was always just one step behind you


Verse 2

G7
'66 seemed like the year I was really going somewhere
        G7
We were living in San Francisco with flowers in our hair
Dm
Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand
                                               G7
That the guy's and me were something more than just another band
G
And then '69 in LA came around so soon
G
We were really making head way writing lots of tunes
Dm
And we must have played the wildest stuff we had ever played
                                                C
And the crowds cried out for us well we thought we had it made


Chorus 2

F
Rock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
        C
All the crazey lazy young days all the magic moonlit nights
         F
I was so busy on the road singing love songs to you
               C
While you were changing your direction and you never even knew
           G7
That I was always just one step behind you

Do Do Do etc (C x2)

Verse 3

G7
'71 in Soho when I saw Suzanne
G7
I was trying to go it solo with someone else's band
Dm
And she came up to me later and took her by the hand
                                       G7
And I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand
G
And she followed me through London through a hundred hotel rooms
G
Through a hundred record companies who didn't like my tunes
Dm
And she followed me when finally I sold my old guitar
                                         C
And she tried to help me understand I'd never be a star


Chorus 3

F
Rock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
        C
All the dreamy sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights
F
And though I never knew the magic of making it with you
  C
I thank the lord for giving me the little bit I knew
           C
And I will always be one step behind you

F
Rock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
C
Singing out my love songs on a bright lit magic night
    F
And though I never knew the magic of making it with you
C
I thank the lord for giving me the little bit I knew

F
Rock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
        C
All the dreamy sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights
      F
I was so busy in the backroom writing love songs for you
               C
While you were changing your direction and you never even knew
