Verse 1
G 
I can still remember when I
bought my first guitar
Cm 
G 
Remember just how good the feeling was,
put it proudly in my car
And my family listened fifty times to
my two songs repertoire
And I told my mom her only son
was gonna be a star
Bought all the Beatles records,
sounded just like Paul
Bought all the old Chuck Berry's,
78's and all
Cm 
And I sat by my record player,
playing every note they played
And I watched them all on TV, making
G 
every move they made
Cm 
G 
Cm 
G 
Rock and Roll I gave you all
D 
the best years of my live
All the dreamin' sunny Sundays,
G 
Cm 
all the moonlit summer night
I was busy in the backroom
G 
writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction and never even
knew that I was always one step behind you

Verse 2
G 
'66 Seems like the year I was really
going somewhere

with flowers in our hair
Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand that the
Cm 
guys and me were something more than just another band
C 
Cm 
And then '69 in L.A. came around so soon
We were really making headway
and writing a lots of tunes
F 
And we must have played the
G 
Cm 
wildest stuff we had ever played
G 
And the way the crowds cried out for us, well,
we thought we had it made
D 
Rock and roll I gave you all the
best years of my life
All the crazy lazy young days,
Cm 
all the magic moon at night
I was so busy on the road
G 
singing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction and never even
C 
Cm 
knew that I was always one step behind you

Through a hundred record companies,

Rock and roll I gave you all the

All the crazy lazy young days,
