Here are the chords to the Who's "Long Live Rock", off of the album Odds and Sods. While
you could technically play the A, D, and E as A5 A6,
D5 D6, etc, I put the basic open chords up because it's the easiest way to learn the
song. It's a very fun song to just pick up and play.
ADown at the Astoria the scene was changing; bingo and rock were pushing out X-ratings
DWe were the first band to vomit in the bar, and finAd the distance to the stage too far,
EMeanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock,
FRock is dGead they say; lDong live rock. A
ALong live rock, I need it every night,
DLong live rock, come on and join the lAine,
F D N.C. A
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving,
We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins,
Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong,
Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone,
Back in the pub the governor stops the clock,
Rock is dead, they say,
Long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night,
Long live rock, come on and join the line,
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
ELandslide, rDocks are falAling,
EFalling down 'round our vDery heAads,
EWe tried but yoDu were yAawning,
ELook again, Drock is dCead, rock is dGead, rock is dAead.
The place is really jumping to the Hiwatt amps, 'til a 20-inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps
In the blackout they dance right into the aisle,
And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles,
Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock,
Rock is dead, they say
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock.
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock,
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock.
Long live rock, I need it every night,
Long live rock, come on and join the line,
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
