Verse 1
(A major) I can (D major)
still remember
when I bought (G major) my first gui (A major) tar
Remember walk (D major) ing from the shop
to put it (G major) proudly in my car
(A major) And my (D major) family listened fifty times
to my (B major) two -song repertoire (E minor)
I told my ma her only son
was (G major) gonna be a star
(A major) Bought (D major) all the Beatles records,
I (G major) sounded just like Paul
(A major) Bought (D major) all the old Chuck Berries, 78s (G major)
and (A major) all I sat (D major) by my record player,
playing (B major) every note they played (E minor)
I watched them all on TV,
making (G major) every move (A major) they made
Ah, (D major) rock and roll, I gave you
all the be (G major) st years of my life
All the dreamiest (A major) Sundays, Sundays,
all the (G major) moonlit summer night (D major) s
I was so busy in the back room
writing love (G major) songs to you
While you were chan (A major) ging your direction
And you (G major) never even knew
(D major) That I was (A major) always
Just one step be (D major) hind you
Sixty -six seemed like the year
I was (G major) really going some (A major) where
We were liv (D major) ing in San Francisco
With flowers (G major) in our hair (A major)
Singing (D major) songs of kindness so
The (B major) world would understand
(E minor) To the guys and me
you were something more
than (G major) just another band
(A major) And then 69 (D major) (A major) in (D major) L .A.
came (G major) around so (A major) soon
We (D major) were really making headway
and (G major) writing lots of (A major) tunes
We must (D major) have played
the wildest stuff
that (B major) we had ever played (E minor)
The way the crowd cried out for us,
we (G major) thought we (A major) had it made
(D major) All rock 'n 'roll I gave you,
all the be (G major) st years of my life
All the crazy, (A major) lazy young days,
all the (G major) magic moon and (D major) night
I was so busy on the road,
singing love (G major) songs to you
While you were chan (A major) ging your direction
And you (G major) never even knew
(D major) that I was (A major) always
Just one step be (D major) hind you (G major) (A major)
(D major) (G major) (A major) (D major) (B major)
(E minor) (G major) (A major) (D major)
71 and so alone when (G major) I met Suzan (A major) ne
I was (D major) tryin' to go it solo
with (G major) someone else
She (A major) came (D major) up to me later,
and I (B major) took her by the hand (E minor)
I told her all of my problems,
and she (G major) seemed to understand
(A major) So she (D major) followed me through London,
through a (G major) hundred hotel rooms
(A major) Through a (D major) hundred record companies,
who (G major) didn't like my (A major) tunes
She fol (D major) lowed me
when finally I sold (B major) my old gui (E minor) tar
She tried to help me understand
I'd (G major) never be (A major) a (D major) star
Oh, and rock and roll
I gave you
all the be (G major) st years of my life
All the dreamy (A major) sunny Sundays,
all the (G major) moonlit summer night (D major) s
Though I never knew
the magic of (G major) making it with you
I thank (A major) the Lord for giving
me the (G major) little bit I (D major) knew
But I was (A major) always just one
step be (D major) hind you
Rock and roll,
gave you all the be (G major) st years of my life
All the dreamy (A major) sunny Sundays
All the (G major) moonlit summer night (D major) s
I was so busy in the light
No writing love (G major) songs to you
While you were changing
your (A major) direction
Thank
The Best Years Of My Life
