_ I can still remember [F#] when I bought my [G#] first guitar, remember [C#] just how good the feeling [F#] was, put it proudly [G#] in my car.
[C#] And my family listened fifty times to [A#] my two [D#m]-song repertoire, _ and I told my mom her only son was [C#] gonna be a star.
Bought _ all the Beatle records, _ [F#] sounded just [G#] like Paul, [C#] bought all the old Chuck [F#] Berry's, [G#] 78's and all.
[C#] And I sat by my record player, playing every [D#m] note they played, _ and I watched them all on TV, making every [C#] move they made.
_ _ Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best years of my life, [G#] all the dreamy sunny Sundays, [F#] all the moonlit [C#] summer nights.

Sixty-six seemed like the year I was really [G#] going somewhere.
We [C#] were living in San Francisco, flowers [G#] in our hair.
[C#]
Singing [F#] songs of kindness so [D#m] the world would understand that the guys and me were something more than [F#] just [G#] another band.
And [C#] then 69 in L.A. _ came around [G#] so soon, we [C#] were really making headway.
[F#] And writing lots [G#] of tunes, [C#] and we must have played the wildest stuff [A#] we [D#m] had ever played.
_ The way the crowds cried out for us, thought [C#] we had it made.
_ _ Rock and roll I gave you [F#] all the best years 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 [G#] you were changing your direction.
[F#] Never [C#] even knew [G#] that I was only this one step [F#] [C#] behind you.

_ _ _ Seventy-one in Soho, [F#] _
when I saw Suzanne, [C#] I was trying to go solo with [G#] someone else's band.
[C#] And she [G#] came up to me, lady, woman, [A#]
took her by [D#m] the hand
And I told her all my troubles [F#] and she seemed to understand
[C#] And she followed me through London, through a hundred hotel [G#] rooms
[C#] Through a hundred record companies, [F#] she didn't like [G#] my tunes
[C#] She followed me when finally [A#] I sold my old [D#m] guitar
And she tried to help me understand I'd [G#] never be [C#] a star _ _ _ _ _ _ _

And [G#] I will always _ be one step [C#] behind you
