A D A E A

[Verse 1]
A
Well we hit the road back in our teens

Tryin' to make a livin' followin' a dream
D7                 D
Drivin' around from town to town
A
Settin' up the gear 'n' tearin' it down

[Chorus]
E
Anything to get us through
         A
'Cause a band's gotta do what a band's gotta do

[Verse 2]
A
We gave it all up spendin' all our time

Playin' our thing makin' nickels and dimes
D
Gave our lives to rock 'n' roll
   A
We let the ol' devil take our souls

[Chorus]
E7
Anything to get us through
                                A
'Cause a band's gotta do what a band's gotta do

[Solo]
A D A E A

[Verse 3]
A
We've seen hard times along the way

But we made a vow we're here to stay
D
One of these days we will be found
    A
You just can't keep a good band down

[Chorus]
E
Anything to get us through
         A
'Cause a band's gotta do what a band's gotta do

[Solo]
A D A E A

[Verse 4]
A
Well we've lost old friends found a few new

Some good hearts been broken in two
D
And though sometimes things been gettin outa hand
A
We've been standin' by our band

[Chorus]
E
Anything to get us through
         A
'Cause a band's gotta do what a band's gotta do
E
Anything to get us through
         N.C.
'Cause a band's gotta do what a band's gotta do
