Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stopin' all the byways
Playin rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]
[G]Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stonned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you people it's harder
than it looks
'Cause it's a long way to [F]the top
if you want [C]to rock 'n' [G]roll
Yes it's a long way to [F]the top if you
want [Em]to rock 'n' roll
[G]

[Verse 3]
You think it's easy playin' one nights stand
[C]then try playin' in a rock roll band
[Dm]It's a [F]long way to [Em]the top if you
want to rock 'n' roll
[G]

[Verse 4]
Hotel motel
Make you want a cry
Made it through the hot sun
Your the reason why

[Verse 5]
[G]Didn't know
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under paid
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you people it's harder
than it looks
'Cause it's a long way to [F]the top
If you want [Em]to rock 'n[F]' roll
[G]

[Verse 6]
All right now take it down
nice and easy
The next thing I want to hear
Is a face melting solo by our own

Dude, is my face [G]okay
I think you melted it off

[Verse 8]
Ah

Unless I hear a gut [F]bustin' [G]drum solo,

[Interlude 2]

[G]

[Verse 9]
Ah it's a [G]long way to [F]the top if

[Em]you want to rock 'n' r[G]oll
