AA6AA6AAA
After all the 6 chords below, return to the root chord on
beat 4. I didn't add that part to keep from cluttering up
the transcription ever further.
Verse 1:
AA6AA6AA6AA6
Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
AA6AA6AA6AA6
Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating
DD6DD6DD6DD6
We were the first band to vomit at the bar
AA6AA6AA6AA6
And find the distance to the stage too far
EE6EE6EE6EE6
Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'-clock
FGD
Rock is dead they say
AAAA6AA6AA6AA6
Long live rock
Chorus:
AAAAA6AA6
Long live rock! I need it every
AA6AA6AA6AA6
night
DDDDD6DD6
Long live rock! Come on and join the
AA6AA6AA6AA6
line
FFD
Long live rock! Be it dead or
AA6AA6AA6AA6
alive
Verse 2:
People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving
We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins
Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong
Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone
Back in the pub the governor stops the clock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock
(Chorus)
Bridge:
EDA
Landslide, rocks are falling
EDA
Falling down upon our very heads
EDAED
We tried but you were yawning. Look again
C
Rock is dead
G/B
Rock is dead
A
Rock is dead
Verse 3:
The place is really jumping to the high watt amps
'Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps
In the blackout they danced right into the aisle
And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles
Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock
(Chorus) (x2)
