Chords for Kevin Johnson - Rock 'n' Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of Life)

[C#] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ I can still remember [F#] when I bought my [G#] first guitar
[C#] Remember just how good the feeling [F#] was
Put it [G#] proudly in my car
[C#] And my family [F#] listened fifty [A#m] times [A#] to my two [D#m]-song repertoire
And I told my mom her only son [F#] was [G#] gonna be [C#] a star
_ Bought all the Beatle records, [F#]
sounded just [G#] like Paul
[C#] Bought all the old Chuck [F#] Berrys, [G#] 78s and all
[C#] I sat by my record [A#] player, [D#m] playing every note they played
And I watched them all on TV, [G#] making every [C#] move they made _
Rock and roll I gave you all the [F#] best year of my life
All the [G#] dreamy sunny Sundays, [F#] all the [C#] moonlit summer nights
I was so busy, writing [F#] love songs to you
While you [G#] were changing your direction
_ [F#] Never [C#] even knew _ [G#] that I was old
Just one step [C#] behind you _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Sixty-six seemed like the year [F#] I was really going [G#] somewhere
We were [C#] living in San Francisco, [F#] with flowers in [G#] our hair
_ [C#] Singing [F#] songs of [A#m] kindness so the [D#m] world would understand
That the guys and me were something [F#] more than just [G#] another band
[C#] And then 69 in L.A. [F#] came [G#] around so soon
[C#] We were really making headway
And [F#] writing [G#] love songs to [C] you
Then [C#] we must have played the wildest stuff [A#] we had [D#m] ever played
_ The way the crowds cried out for us, [G#] thought we [C#] had it made
_ _ Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best year of my life
[G#] All the crazy lazy Sundays, [F#] all the magic [C#] moonlit nights
I was so busy on the road, [F#] singing love songs to you
While you [G#] were changing your direction _
[F#] Never [C#] even knew that [G#] I was old
_ Just one step [C#] behind you _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [C#] Seventy _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ -one in Soho, [F#] _ when I saw [C#] Suzanne
[F#] I was [C#] trying to go to Solo
[F#] With [G#] someone else's band
[C#] And she [B] came up to me [F#] later and I [D] took her [D#m] by the hand
And I told her all my troubles [F#] and she seemed to [G#] understand
And [C#] she followed me through, through a [F#] hundred [G#] hotel rooms
[C#] To a hundred record companies, [F#] who didn't like [G#] my tunes
[C#] She followed me when finally [A#] I sold my [D#m] old guitar
_ _ And she tried to help me understand [F#] and [C#] [G#] never be [C#] the star _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best year of my life
[G#] All the dreamy sunny Sundays, [F#] all the moonlit [C#] stone nights
The rhymes and Isles of magic, _ [F#] making it with you
[G#] Thank the Lord for giving me [F#] the little bit [C#] I had _ _
[G#] And I will always be one step [C#] behind you
Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best year of my life
[G#] Singing out my love [F#] songs, and the projects [C#] flash by
The rhymes and Isles of [F#] magic, making it with you
[G#] Thank the Lord for giving [F#] me the little [C#] bit I _ _ _ _ [F#] had
All the best year of my life
[G#] All the dreamy sunny Sundays, [F#] all the moonlit [C#] stone nights
I was so very in the back
[F#] Rhyme and love songs, you [G#] were changing your direction
You [F#] never [C#] gave me the _ _ _ _ [F#] best year of my life
[G#] All the dreamy sunny Sundays
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
