A Fpoet of the people standing Csus4tall

It was a Ffifteen dollar flea market Csus4prize 
CSomething in me burned 
From my Ffingers through my Cveins 
And the Ffullest moon lit the darkest Gskies 
Now CI'm just one of many 
Setting Fout along this Cpath 
Over Fdirt roads that he Cpaved 
And Fnew roads that he Gmade 
CSearching for a song 
With his Flegend shining Con 
Like the FQueensport Light Gglowing in the Cbay
CHORUS:
It was Grock 'n Froll to Cme 
He might as Gwell have Fbeen the CKing 
Now I could Amwalk a thousand miles

CAPO: 4th Fret

Cadd9 C Cadd9 C

INTRO:

I watched him take the stage

F C

Like a giant there before me

F Csus4

A poet of the people standing tall

Flood lights beaming red

F C

On steel strings and sweat

F G

The finest tunes that ever echoed off those walls

And the power of his voice

F C

All rage, fire and thunder

F C F G

I knew that I had changed and I'd never be the same

Now every time since then

F C

When I hear his voice again

F G C

I get carried back to that day

CHORUS:

G F C

'Cause it was rock 'n roll to me

G F C

He might as well have been the King

Now I could walk a thousand miles

G C

And it would be like I stood still

Dm7 F

Spend my whole life trying

Dm7 F C Cadd9 C

And I'd never fill those shoes

I got my first guitar

F C

When I was twelve years old

F Csus4

It was a fifteen dollar flea market prize

Something in me burned

F C

From my fingers through my veins

F G

And the fullest moon lit the darkest skies

Now I'm just one of many

F C

Setting out along this path

F C

Over dirt roads that he paved

F G

And new roads that he made

Searching for a song

F C

With his legend shining on

F G C

Like the Queensport Light glowing in the bay

CHORUS:

G F C

It was rock 'n roll to me

G F C

He might as well have been the King

Now I could walk a thousand miles

G C

And it would be like I stood still

Spend my whole life trying

Dm7 F C

And I'd never fill those shoes
