I wrote where the riffs begin and the repeat until another one starts
VERSE 1
A
Its a hurried up life
But thats the life i chose
No use asking me to slowdown
Cos i aint got nothing to lose
But time and time is all i 've got
B
You know i was born standing up with a guitar in my hand
Im not trying to come on like hollywood
But Hollywood is what i am
CHORUS
C D
When we come into a new town
Everybodys there
When we play our music
C
Hand are in the air
D
When the musics over
you wonder where we are
Im standing in the silence
With my old guitar.
A
Rock is my life this is my song
VERSE 2
Its a crying shame
But some of us have not survived
No use in asking how it happened
Very few are left alive
B
I just wanna keep on keeping on
Your only as good as your last record
I know that someday youll be gone
CHORUS
Lead break over Riff A (8) Riff C Riff D (4)
