Rock Roll

           A
When I was young, yeah I was young 
one time, we’ve all been young.

But, this one time when I was young 
my buddy gave me a tape.
         E
And it freaked me out.
E
I didn’t know what to do. It was 
like TNT. I was in my brother’s 
room.

[Verse 2]
A
And another time, different friend, 
different house,

different song, different band, he 
had real long hair,
pulled the record out, put the 
                      E
needle on oh yeah and freaked me 
out.
E
I’d never done drugs. I barely 
brushed my teeth.
E
I was on the floor all glassy eyed 
fucked up beyond belief.

[Chorus]
       A
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da 
known, who'da known
         D                A
That it would be rock and roll
            E
That would terrify me
E
That would haunt me so completely

[Verse 3]
              A
Yeah you were there, summer-time, 
young love, halcyon days, elysian 
fields,

Marlboro reds, white car, blue eyes,
 cd in, cd in, cd in, a cd in a car 
stereo
        E
and it freaked me out, what he said 
about love. You were right there
E
I don’t know where I was.

[Verse 4]
A
How much do I owe my uncle? I expect
 it’s more than I can pay.
A                                 
He gave us a tascam, some maxells,
 a shure 57 and a stereo delay and 
    E
it freaked me out.
E
Yeah the hum and the hiss. We were 
only 16, thought we were the shit

[Chorus]
       A
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da 
known, who'da known
         D                A
That it would be rock and roll
            E
That would terrify me
E
That would haunt me so completely
