Rock And Roll Band

	  		


verse 1:  

B               
Well....  
        E                        A 
We were just another band out of Boston 
        E                        A 
On the road to try to make ends meet 
  E                           A 
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars  
       E                             A      D D# 
And we practiced right on out in the street  
E                       A 
No, we didn't have much money 
   E                      A 
We barely made enough to survive 
            E                        F#                    A          B7 
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play, people came alive.  


Chorus 1:  

C#m                  A 
Rock and roll band everybody's waitin' 
C#m           A 
Gettin' crazy anticipating  
E      F#         A    B7    E                            B 
Love and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah  


verse 2: 

E                        A 
Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis 
         E                        A 
We were getting pretty good at the game  
E                               A 
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind 
         E                  A    D D# 
You know everybody knew our name 
E                        A 
Livin' on rock-n-roll music 
      E                              A 
Never worry 'bout the things we were missing 
        E                           F#                    A           B7           
When we got up on the stage and got ready to play, everybody listened.

C#m                  A 
Rock and roll band everybody's waitin' 
C#m           A 
Gettin' crazy anticipating  
E      F#         A    B7    E                            B 
Love and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah  


verse 3:  


E                        A 
Playin' for a week in Rhode Island 
E                        A 
A man came to the stage one night  
    E                           A 
He smoked a big cigar, Drove a Cadillac car 
           E                        A           D D# 
And said, "Boys, I think this bands outta-sight 
E                        A

E                        A 
You know I've got great expectations 
       E                   F#                        A             B7 
When I hear you on the car radio you're goin' to be a sensation!"
