DIf I ever Cthought that I could be Ghappy
DDreams like Cthat always faded Gaway
DAnd all the Cgirls already had Gboyfriends

[Verse 1]

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

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

[Chorus]

E A

Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul

E G

That rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

E A

Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul

E G

That rock 'n' roll

[Verse 3]

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

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

[Chorus]

Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul

You ought to get on home at night

G A E

Keep the battle to the right

G A E

Seeing the love and adultry

G A E

And wonderin' who was in the outfield

G A E

Swear I know the truth

G A E

And I ain't wearin' nobody's shoes

I got some dollar on high look out

G A E

It's shining

G A E

With a bottle of knuckleheads

G A E

She's like a drunken rat cat, oh

G A E

I guess you're coming out the backdoor

G A E

She did all right

G A E

It's a battle or fight

G A E

So I feel all empty now

G A E

You try to hold a figure eight

G A E

She said what's the Anti-Christ

G A E

He said oh what did you do to her

G A E

It's probably she's been talking to Lucifer

G A E

Is that really the night

G A E G A E G A E

Oh, my Uh huh Alright
