G
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll

Oh, and that music filled my soul


[Chorus]
G   F         C                  G  F   C
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll______
G   F            C               G  F   C
Oh, oh, and that music filled my soul______


[Verse 1]
G         C          G     C
I've been wild since I was young
G         C           G      D
Taking my freedom out on the run
G          C         G          C
Fought the rules and fought the ropes
G          C        G          D
When I was rolling, when I was broke


[Verse 2]
G      D         C      D
Did my drinking, had my fun
G            C         G   D
Nothing ever got in my way__
G      C      G    C
Did my loving as I pleased
 G       C        G         D
"This is living," I used to say


[Verse 3]
C       G              D      Em
I am an eagle and I've got to fly
C                    G  D
Climbing against the wind__
C      G               D     Em
I am a spirit who will never break
C     G      C        G
Never have a heart to mend


[Chorus]
G   F         C                  G  F   C
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll______
G   F            C               G  F   C
Oh, oh, and that music filled my soul______


[Verse 5]
G         C       G       C
Somewhere on that freedom road
G       C            G      D
Started fighting for my own soul
G          C         G      C
Thought of Jimmy and Janis, too
G      C         G         D
Living fast 'til they were through


[Verse 6]
G       D       C      D
Then my heart began to break
G       C      G         D
Falling when I wanted to fly
G       C           G         C
Someone said, "Now, gal, slow down
G          C      G            D
You're too young, too young to die"


[Verse 7]
C       G            D        Em
Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
C                    G  D
Climbing against the wind__
C      G            D      Em
Even a strong heart has to break
   C        G        C     G
To learn to love and heal again


[Bridge]
Bb               C      F
All that running got to me
Bb               C        F
Could I stop and still be free?
                  G        Am
Could I break and still be whole?
F               G        D
Would I live to rock and roll____?


[Verse 8]
G        C           G        C
Got some friends who stood by me
G       C       G          D
Telling me that I would survive
G               C              G         C
Saying, "You're strong, you'll sing your song
G           C        G   D
Know you're lucky to be alive"


[Verse 9]
G        D      C         D
Still my spirit yearns to run
G             C          G   D
Chasing every star in the sky___
G        C         G      C
Wild and free I'll always be
G        C        G        D
I've got someone, I've got me


[Verse 10]
C       G           D       Em
I am an eagle and I have to fly
C                    G  D
Climbing against the wind__
C        G          D      Em
I have a heart that had to break
   C        G        C     D
To learn to love and heal again


[Verse 11]
C       G            D        Em
Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
C                    G  D
Climbing against the wind__
C      G            D      Em
Even a strong heart has to break
    C        G        C     G
And learn to love and heal again


[Chorus]
G   F         C                  G  F   C
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll______
G   F            C               G  F   C
Oh, oh, and that music filled my soul______


[Chorus]
G   F         C                  G  F   C
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll______
G   F            C               G  F   C
Oh, oh, and that music filled my soul______


[Chorus]        (fade to end)
G   F         C                  G  F   C
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll______
G   F            C               G  F   C
Oh, oh, and that music filled my soul______
