Dm
Tom had a job in a town outside the city

Was working very hard

Life was lookin' very pretty
G
Nothing going wrong with the rockabilly Song
          Dm
That the radio was playing

Dm
But than came around

The Rock ' n' Roll beginning

Tom left the town and got into the singin'
G
Nothing was the same since he read a book
                                Dm
Saying "Wheels are freedom" nowadays

Dm
Rock 'n' roll stole my soul
G
Rockin' down the river like a rolling stone
Dm
Rock 'n' roll stole my soul
G
Rockin' down the river lika a rolling stone

Dm
Tom had a band and made a good "a" livin'

Toured all the land

His dreams had been fulfillin'
G
Was bringing in some cash

But spent it all on hash
Dm
That's when his life began to bend

Dm
Times were looking bad

He was lying' in a clinic

He lost all he had

The world was looking cynic

G
His innocence was gone

But it didn't take him long
Dm
Now he's singin' on the street

the song of  his defeat

Oh yeah


Rock 'n' roll stole my soul
G
Rockin' down the river like a rolling stone
Dm
Rock 'n' roll stole my soul
G
Rockin' down the river lika a rolling stone

Zwischenspiel: Dm G Dm C Dm

Dm
Beans, Beans

The musical fruit

The more you eat

The more you toot

The more you toot

The better you feel

So let's have beans

For every meal

Dm
Rock 'n' roll stole my soul
G
Rockin' down the river like a rolling stone
Dm
Rock 'n' roll stole my soul
G
Rockin' down the river lika a rolling stone
