[Intro]
G D C    G D C
[Verse 1]
GHe rocked his way through yeCsterday, Lord he tGhought he had a cChance
GHe played guitar and Cwrote some tunes, of Amlove and romanceD  
AmHe did his share of tDravelin', like a dGog without a hCome
A fAmugitive who would rDather give, a Gstar that never sEmhone
[Chorus]
Isn't it a piAmty, Disn't it a sAmhameD  
No one ever warned thAme boy
Rock n' Croll is a vDicious gGame, oGh DyeCah
[Verse 2]
GHe said he wouldn't get leCd around, or caGught up in the gaCmes
Or Gend up in a gCallery, of fAmaces with no nDames
And Amrock 'n' roll was iDn his soul, and mGusic was a fCriend
He reAmcorded a song that made us sDing along, and he was oGn the road aEmgain
[Chorus]
Isn't it a pAmity, Disn't it a shAmameD  
No one ever wAmarned the boy
Rock n' rColl is a vDicious gameG, oDh oCh, oh yeah, oh oh

EmStage fright, ooh, and Dlong black limouCsines
He's Fpushing himself a Cway too hard, or sDo it seems
[Solo]
G D C
[Verse 3]
He Gopened up his hCeart to us, he gGave us what he Ccould
We Gsymphathized and Charmonized, he Ammade us all feel Dgood
But it's Amfunny how those tDhings can change, and Gtime can pass us Cby
AmSongs that moved us so eDasily, no loGnger make us Emcry
[Chorus]
Isn't it a pAmity, Disn't it a shAmameD  
No one ever wAmarned the boy
Rock n' rColl is a vDicious gameG, oDh oCh, oh
Oh yeah, oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
My my my, rock 'n roll is a vicious game, yeah
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
