LET IT ROCK
As recorded by The Rolling Stones
(From the 1971 Album STICKY FINGERS
(Deluxe Version Bonus Disc LIVE AT UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS 1971))
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
A
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
D
Got to make some money to buy some brand new shoes
A
Trying to find somebody to take away these blues
E
She don't love me hear them singing in the sun
A
Payday's coming and my work is all done
[Guitar Solo]
A D A E A
[Verse 2]
A
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
A
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow
D
Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks
A
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
E
Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about
A
We've got an off-schedule train coming two miles about
[Guitar Solo]
A D A E A
[Verse 3]
A
Everybody's scrambling, running around
A
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
D
Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane
A
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
E
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
A
Can't stop the train, got to let it roll on
[Outro]
A D A E
x2
A
