CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
C G C
[Verse 1]
F C
I used to spend my time singing beneath the old pier
F C
I liked to watch all the shapes on the shore
F C
My very best friend, maybe a cold beer
F
You, sleeping my radio
[Pre-Chorus]
C
You were strong enough
F
You'd walk in any room and you could act so tough
[Chorus]
C
Oh, I wanted to be like that
F
You even looked good in my cowboy hat
G
It was all rock 'n' roll then
C C7 C
It was all rock 'n' roll
[Verse 2]
F C
We were Northern boys, came from a small town
F C
The same cool jackets and the same girls
F C
Two old record players and two guitar straps
F
You lived in my house and I lived in yours
[Pre-Chorus]
C
You were good enough
F
We met these boys and girls who played, they slapped you up
[Chorus]
C
Oh, I wanted to play like that
F
But all I had was the cowboy hat
G
It was all rock 'n' roll then
C
It was all rock 'n' roll
[Instrumental]
C C7 C G C
[Verse 3]
F C
I stayed at home, you went away, south
F C
It's hard to get to see you in a cabaret band
F C
You had a child, you had a daughter
F
She must be really proud of her old man
[Chorus]
C
Oh, I wanted to live like that
F
I gave your little girl my cowboy hat
G
It was all rock 'n' roll then
C C7 C
It was all rock 'n' roll
[Interlude]

It was all rock 'n' roll
[Verse 4]
F C
He made a little cash for his own place
F C
Just a stone's throw from the pier
F C
Time I called, he changed the jukebox
F
Country music and American beer
[Chorus]
C
Oh, I wish I could live like that
F
Even bought his broken cowboy hat
G
It's all rock 'n' roll now
C G
It's all rock 'n' roll
C
It's all rock 'n' roll
