I'm on my back like an old brown jacket

Verse 2
C                          G
Well I dreamed I saw the king in a fifty three chevy
Dm                            F
Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy
C                         G        
And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi
Dm                              F
I couldn't see his face 'cause of the purple haze inside
C                                G
And he was born to be the king — he was born to be the man
Dm                               F
And he died though he was holy — although I doubt he'd understand
(F)            G  C
When I say

Chorus
G            Dm              F
Oh oh oh — there's the last of the rock stars
Dm
And me and you
C       G    Dm 
Oh oh oh — rock 'n roll is here to stay
F                           C  G—Am
But who will be left to play


C Am  C Am .... (just keep playing this while he presents the band or he plays 'Shout')
 

Verse 3
C                   Am
 If it means guitar you gotta have it
C                        Am
And you got your axe and you got your group
C                        Am
And your old man thinks its a waste of loot
C                           Am
And you wait all week for a Sullivan show
C                        Am                Dm
And you know that's just where you wanna go 
F
And you homework now is never complete
G
You don't care — cause you have got that beat

          C—G                                    G—Dm
And some of us are masters and some or us are slaves

                                F
And than there's that boy who knows he's gotta play
     C                      G
And a messy desk drawer full of broken strings
Dm                       F
You know these kids and you know of those things


Chorus
G              Dm             F
