Kevin Johnson - Rock n roll i gave you all the best years of my life

^CI can still remember when I ^Fbrought my first ^G7guitar Remember ^Cjust how good the feeling was put it ^Fproudly in my ^G7car And my ^Cfamily listened fifty times to my ^A7two song reperto^Dmire And I told my mom her only son was ^Fgonna ^G7be a ^Cstar Brought all the Beatles records ^Fsounded just like ^GPaul ^CBrought all the old Chuck Berry's ^Fseventy eights and ^G7all And ^CI sat by my record player ^A7playing every note they ^Dmplayed And I watched them all on TV making ^Fevery ^G7move they ^Cmade

^CRock and Roll I gave you all the ^Fbest years of my life All the ^G7dreamy sunny sundays all the ^Fmoonlit summer ^Cnights I was so ^Cbusy in the backroom writing ^Flove songs to you While you were ^G7changing your direction and you ^Fnever even ^Cknew That I was ^G7always just one step behind you

^C'66 seemed like the year I was ^Freally going ^G7somewhere We were ^Cliving in San Francisco with ^Fflowers in our ^G7hair ^CSinging songs of kindness so the ^A7world would underst^Dmand That the guy's and me were something more than ^Fjust another ^G7band ^CAnd then '69 in LA ^Fcame around so ^Gsoon ^CWe were really making head way ^Fwriting lots of ^Gtunes ^CAnd we must have played the wildest stuff ^A7we had ever pla^Dmyed And the crowds cried out for us well we thought ^Fwe ^G7had it ^Cmade

^CRock and Roll I gave you all the ^Fbest years of my life All the ^G7crazey lazy young days all the ^Fmagic moonlit ^Cnights I was so ^Cbusy on the road singing ^Flove songs to you While you were ^G7changing your direction and you ^Fnever even ^Cknew That I was ^G7always just one step behind you

^C'71 in Soho ^Fwhen I saw ^G7Suzanne ^CI was trying to go it solo with ^Fsomeone else's ^G7band ^CAnd she came up to me later and ^A7took her by the ^Dmhand And I told her all my troubles and she ^Fseemed to under^G7stand ^CAnd she followed me through London through a ^Fhundred hotel ^Grooms ^CThrough a hundred record companies who ^Fdidn't like my ^Gtunes ^CAnd she followed me when finally I ^A7sold my old ^Dmguitar And she tried to help me understand I'd n^Fever ^G7be a ^Cstar

^CRock and Roll I gave you all the ^Fbest years of my life All the ^G7dreamy sunny sundays all the ^Fmoonlit summer ^Cnights ^CAnd though I never knew the magic of ^Fmaking it with you I ^G7thank the lord for giving me the ^Flittle bit I ^Cknew And I will ^G7always be one step behind ^Cyou

^CRock and Roll I gave you all the ^Fbest years of my life ^G7Singing out my love songs on a ^Fbright lit magic ^Cnight And ^Cthough I never knew the magic of ^Fmaking it with you ^G7I thank the lord for giving me the ^Flittle bit I ^Cknew

^CRock and Roll I gave you all the ^Fbest years of my life All the ^G7dreamy sunny sundays all the ^Fmoonlit summer ^Cnights I was ^Cso busy in the backroom writing ^Flove songs for you While you were ^G7changing your direction and you ^Fnever even ^Cknew
