1st Verse)
DI can still remember when I
G Abought my first guitar
DI remember just how good the
feeling was
G APut it proudly in my car
DAnd I played my friends a
Bmthousand times
G DMy two song repertoire
G AAnd I told my mom her oldest
A Dson was gonna be star

records
G AAnd I tried to sound like Paul

D BmAnd I sat by my record player
G Dplaying every song they played
G AAnd I watched them all on TV
Devery move they made
CHORUS:
DRock and Roll I gave you all
Gthe best years of my life
AThe dreamy sunny Sundays
DAll the magic moonlit nights
DI was so busy in the backroom
GWriting love songs to you
AWhile you were changing your
direction
G DI never even knew
AThat I was always one step
Dbehind you
VERSE:
D‘66 seemed like the year I was
G Areally going somewhere
DWe were living in San Francisco
G Awith flowers in our hair
D BmSinging songs of kindness so
G Dthe world would understand
GThat the guys and me were
Asomething more
AThan just another band
VERSE:
D GAnd ‘69 in LA well it came
Aaround so slow
DBut we were really making
Gheadway and writin’ lots
Aof tunes
DAnd we must have played the
Bm Gwildest stuff we had ever
Dplayed
G'Cause the way the crowds
Ayelled out for more we
Dthought we had it made
CHORUS:
DRock and Roll I gave you all
Gthe best years of my life
A DPlaying my guitar under bright
and flashing lights
DI was so busy on the road
Gsinging love songs to you
AWhile you were changing your
G Ddirection I never even knew
AThat I was always one step
Dbehind you.
