A
Riding down the highway
A
Going to a show
A
Stop in all the by-ways
A
Playing rock 'n' roll
A
Getting robbed, getting stoned, getting beat up, broken-boned
A
Getting had, getting took, I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks


[Chorus]

      A               G              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      A               G              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      A                                       D
If you think it's easy doing one night stands

Try playing in a rock 'n' roll band
      G               D                            A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna to rock 'n' roll

G   D   A     x4


[Verse 2]

A
Hotel, motel
A
Make you want to cry
A
Lady do the hard sell
A
Know the reason why
A
Getting old, getting grey, getting ripped off, underpaid
A
Getting sold, second hand, that's how it goes, playing in a band


[Chorus]

      A               G              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      A               G              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      A                                     D
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen

Look out, it's rough and mean
      G               D              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      G               D              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      G               D              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      G               D              D           A
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll


[Outro]

A
It's a long way
A
Such a long way
A
It's a long way
A
Such a long way
