GCGC
He rocked his way through yesterday, lord he thought he had a chance
GCAmD
He played guitar and wrote some tunes, of love and romance
AmDGC
He did his share of travelin', like a dog without a home
DGEm
A fugitive who would rather give, a star that never shone
AmDAmD
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
Am
No one ever warned the boy
DCGDCGDC
Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh yeah
GCGC
He said he wouldn't get led around, or caught up in the games
GCAmD
Or end up in a gallery, of faces with no names
AmDGC
And rock 'n' roll was in his soul, and music was a friend
AmDGEm
He recorded a song that made us sing along, and he was on the road again
AmDAmD
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
Am
No one ever warned the boy
DCGDCGD
Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh yeah, oh oh
BRIDGE: C D Em
DC
Stage fright, ooh, and long black limousines
FCD
He's pushing himself a way too hard, or so it seems
GCGC
He opened up his heart to us, he gave us what he could
GCAmD
We symphathized and harmonized, he made us all feel good
AmDGC
But it's funny how those things can change, and time can pass us by
AmDGEm
Songs that moved us so easily, no longer make us cry
AmDAmD
Now isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
Am
No one ever warned the boy
DCGGDC
Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh
GGDCGGDC
Oh yeah, oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
GDCG
My my my, rock 'n roll is a vicious game, yeah
DCG
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh FADE
