Finale song, "Steal Your Rock N Roll"


B               F#/A#      G#m               E
I listened to advice, from folks smarter than me,

B   F#       E          E/F#
Hmm, and I ignored it.

B             F#           G#m          F#  E
I listened to hatred, from folks richer than me,

B   F#       E          E/F#
Hmm, and I deplored it.

B             F#          G#m               E
I listened to music, from folks darker than me,

B           F#        A       A/B
And you know, I adored it.


lead-in:  E/B   B   A


A                           B
First comes a point in everybody's life,

          C#m                    A
When they gotta stand up and face the fight.

A                          B
Then comes a point in everybody's life,

          C#m                          D
When they gotta wonder if they've done right!


           A  E
I swallowed my fear,

            D     A     E
Followed my heart right here,
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/memphis-cast/321515.html ]
    C#m
And through it all,

    A        F#m           G
One almighty thought stood clear!


transition to chorus:  Gsus    G


   F                       C/E
Listen to the beat, listen to the beat,

   Dm7
Play it!

   C Dm7 C/E
Obey it!

F             C/E                   G   Gsus   G
Love it with, love it with your feet.

   F                        C/E

   Dm7
Heed it!

You need it!

F            C/E                  G   Gsus   G
Let it make, let it make you whole.

G          F                                  C/E
And if you listen to the beat and hear what's in your soul,

       Dm7              G
You'll never let anyone steal

                  F
Your rock n' roll!
