Verse 1
(G major) (F major) (C major) I can still remember
when I bought (F major) my first guitar
(G major) Remember (C major) just how good the feeling was,
put it proudly (F major) in my car (G major)
And my (C major) family listened fifty times
to my (A major) two song reper (D minor) toire
And I told my mum her only son
was (F major) gonna (G major) be a star (C major)
Bought all the Beatle records,
sounded (F major) just like Paul (G major)
Bought (C major) all the old Chuck Berry's,
(F major) 's and all (G major)
And I (C major) sat by my record player,
playin' (A major) every note they played (D minor)
And I watched them all on TV,
makin (F major) every move (G major) they made (C major)
Verse 2
(C major) Rock and roll,
I gave you all the be (F major) st years of my life
All the (G major) dreamy sunny Sundays,
all the (F major) moon- lit summer night (C major) s
I was so busy in the back room
writin' (F major) love songs to you
While you were chan (G major) gin' your direction
and you (F major) never even (C major) knew
That I was al (G major) ways,
just one step behind (C major) you

Verse 3
' seemed (C major) like the year I was
(F major) really goin' somewhere
(G major) We were (C major) living in San Francisco,
with (F major) flowers in our hair (G major)
Singing (C major) songs of kindness so
the world (A major) would understand
(D minor) But the guys and me were something
more than just another band
And then ' in LA, came
around so soon
We were really making headway
and writing lot (F major) s of tunes
And we must have (G major) played the wildest stuff we
had (C major) ever played
The way the crowds cried out for us, we
thought we had it made
Verse 4
Rock and roll, I gave you all the be (F major)
st years of my life
All the (G major) crazy lazy young days,
all the (F major) magic moon- lit night (C major) s
I was so busy on the road singin'
(F major) love songs to you
While you were chan (G major) gin' your direction,
and you (F major) never even (C major) knew
That I was always, (G major)
just one step be (C major) hind (D flat major) you
Verse 5
' in Soho, when (G flat major) I saw Suzan (A flat major) ne
I was (D flat major) trying to go it solo,
with (G flat major) someone else's band (A flat major)
And she (D flat major) came up to me later and
I tooke (B flat major) her by the hand (E flat minor)
And I told her all my troubles and she
(G flat major) seemed to un (A flat major) derstand
(D flat major) And she followed me through London,
through a (G flat major) hundred hotel rooms (A flat major)
Throught a (D flat major) hundred record companies
who (G flat major) didn't like my tun (A flat major) es
And she (D flat major) followed me when,
(B flat major) finally, I sold (E flat minor) my old guitar
And she tried to help me understand,
(G flat major) I'd (A flat major) never be (D flat major) a star
Verse 6
(D flat major) Rock and roll,
I gave you all the be (G flat major) st years of my life
All the (A flat major) dreamy sunny Sundays,
all the (G flat major) moon- lit summer night (D flat major) s
And though I never knew the magic
of (G flat major) makin' it with you
Thank the Lord for giving me
the little bit I knew
(A flat major) And I will always be one
step behind you
Verse 7
Rock and (G flat major) roll, I gave you all
the best years (D flat major) of my life
Singing out my love songs (A flat major) in
the brightly flashing lights
And though I never knew the magic
of (D flat major) makin' it with you
Thank the Lord for giving
me the little bit I knew
Verse 8
Rock and roll, I gave (D flat major) you all the be (G flat major) st
years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all
the (A flat major) moon- lit summer nights
I was so busy in the back room
makin' love songs to you
While you were changin' your direction,
and you never even knew
That I was always, just one step behind you
