I came into town as a man of renown
G D
A writer of songs about freedom and joy
D C
A hall had been rented and I was presented
G D
As the kind of a singer all could enjoy
D C
As I climbed up the stair to the stage standing there
G D
It was obvious something was missing
D C
I could tell by the vibes they wouldn't be bribed
G D
They weren't in the mood to listen they yelled out
D C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
G A G A
Don't play me songs about freedom and joy
D C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
G A D
Or don't play me no song at all
D C
I played them some songs about peace and contentment
G D
And things that I've come to believe in
D C
When I was through to a chorus of boo
G D
Some track star yelled thank God he's leaving
D C
Now someone play me a rock 'n' roll song
G A G A
I've had it to here with your flowers and beads
D C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
G A D
Or don't play me no song at all
QUEIT GRAUDUALY BUILD
D C
Well if I played you a rock 'n' roll song
G A G A
How could it be fair 'cause my head isn't there
D C
So I'll leave you with your rock 'n' roll songs
(LOUD)
G A D
And make my way back to the country
D C
Still I hear play me a rock 'n' roll song
G A G A
Don't give me music I don't want to hear
D C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
G A G A
I should have stayed home with a big case of beer
D C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
G A D
Or don't play me no song at all
G A D
Or don't play me no song at all
