C                           

Well now there ain't no rules and regulations 
G                          C    | C |
When you're playin' rock'n'roll
             C
You got your backbeat in the driver's seat
                                 G    | G |
You're rollin' and it's outta control
         Am
Now they say that it's a young man's game
    F
And that is who is burnin' the flame
         D                                            G
But they seem to forget who shot the rocket outta the hole

             C
You got your young string slingers
        G                             C    | C |
Burnin' up and down the fretboard all day
             C                                               G
You got your metal on the dark side warnin' of the judgement day
            Am
But there's still a lotta of guys on the road
            F
And they're knockin' down a backbeat load
       C                    G                      C    | C |
We got thirty long years of bringin' people rock'n'roll

              F                                           C
Rockin' music makes us whole, it doesn't matter if you're young or old
                            G                               Am
They love to hear it on the radio, it takes their troubles away
                        F                         C   
I'll tell ya what don't work for me, the crazy ideology
                       G                                |C   | C |

              C                     G                   C
Now if you're playin' in a coliseum . or in a smoky ol' club
        C                                                          G  | G |
Long as all the people rockin' there's a whole lotta shakin' going on
            Am                            F
When you're singin' in harmony and you're down on your bended knee
           C                       G                          C   | C |
Throw your guitar in the trunk and drive your Cadillac to the show
