Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Henry went to college,
Otto went to fishing
But they're both home,
ready and wishin'
C 
The long -cat kids are a -rivin' about
G 
The tide's comin' in,
but the time's runnin' out
Gm 
We've got to raise up the ruckus
G 
All in the fence
Gm 
G 
We're gonna take what we want
Throw back the rest
D 
Start cleaning up the decks
With a pump and a booze
G 
Raise up the ruckus in the engine room
D 
G 
I've been saving up my strength
Gm 
for a rainy day
G 
and some of interest has accrued
but nobody wants to pay
C 
I got a thirty year mortgage
on a ten second thrill
G 
they're gonna  put my pictures
on the two dollar bill
Gm 
G 
we got to raise up the ruckus
cash in the chest
pay up our tab and our last respects
D 
a meter's been running since you arrived
G 
We got the rays of the luxus
D 
G 
C 
G 
in the engine room
D 
G 
Gm 
G 
Oh, there's meat on the table
and butter in the churn
Gm 
G 
But it don't keep like it did
when some of it's turned
C 
Please get back in the kitchen
and put some grease in that pan
G 
Don't leave me standing here
with my heart in my hand
I've got to raise up the record
and lower the boom
I'm getting down on my knees
for some elbow room
D 
Caught out from under this blue blue
G 
Rays of the ruckus in the
C 
G 
Gm 
G 
engine room
Now blackies riding hits
on illegal ghetto pads
Audis got it good, and that ain't bad
C 
They could have been bigger
than Mick or Keith
G 
But they read the job descriptions
and they didn't need the key
We've got to raise up the ruckus
Throw open the door
There's people out there
that never seen us before
D 
Let's climb up on the cage
just like a bride and groom
G 
D 
Raise up the ruckus in
C 
D 
the engine room
G 
We've got to raise up the ruckus
Rays of the Rockies,
we got the Rays of the Rockies
We got the Rays of the Rockies,
G 
hurry up right now
Rockies Rays of the Rockies
You
