[A] [D] [A] [D] [A]
[D] He's [A] [D] just [A] an old rock and roller [E] playing music in the back [A] street bar.
[D] [A] And he [F#m]
sings a little flat [D] and he never learned to play the guitar.
[E] But [F#] he keeps on belting out them [E] rhythm and blues.
[D]
Long tall satin [A] blue suede shoes.
He just can't accept the fact he's [E] never gonna be a [F#m] star.
[D] He's just [A] an old rock and roller playing [E] music in the back street [A] bar.
[D] [A] [D] He [A] had a record in the 60's [E] it was big enough to go top [A] ten.
[D] [A] And [F#m] though he tried and he tried he [D] never could make it happen [E] again.
He's [F#m] been living 20 years [C#m] on bourbon pride.
And [D] Jerry Lee went country [A] and Elvis died.
Then his third wife left him [E] but he never really thought it would [F#m] last.
[D] And [A] now she ain't nothing but [E] another little blast from [A] the past.
[D] [A]
[C#m] Sometimes late on a Saturday night when [D] the crowd's out having fun.
[C#m] He steps to the mic with a gleam in his eye and [D] once again he's 21.
And then [F#m] it's deep up a luloo in Heartbreak Hotel and [C#m] that'll be the day.
But then [D] the [C#m] sweet bird [Bm] of youth just [A] flies [D] away.
[E]
[A] He's an earthbound eagle that [E] never did learn how to [A] fly.
He [F#m] ain't ever gonna make it [D] but he sure did give it [E] a try.
So [F#m] go dye your hair and [C#m] turn the music up loud.
[D] When it's time to go at [A] least you'll go down proud.
You ain't never gonna [E] be nothing but what you [F#m] are.
[D]
[A] Just an old rock and roller [E] playing music in the back [F#m] street bar.
