Ray Wylie Hubbard - Rock-N-Roll Is A Vicious Game Chords

[Intro]
B F# B F#
 
[Verse]
       F#
When a boy picks up a guitar he learns the girls come around
F#
 And he sees things heat up when he gets his licks down
B
 So now he believes in these mythological gods, Lightning and Muddy
F#
 And then he starts up a band and things start to get bloody
 
[Chorus]
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
 
[Verse]
    F#
And now the band starts gigging at these nights club where there always a sinister element
F#
 And they seem to have forgotten all about God and the New Testament
B
 And all the kids say these guys are hotter than Nine Inch Nails
        F#
And the major record deal has now become the holy grail
 
[Chorus]
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
 
[Verse]
      F#
Now a hot shot producer comes along and they all sign on the dotted line
F#
 And they go in the studio and now it's just a matter of time
         B
And they tour Europe and they get drunk on stage but in England they think that's cool
    F#
And back in the states the critics sit up and start to drool
 
[Chorus]
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
 
[Verse]
   F#
So now it's tattoos and piercings and leather and groupies and gophers
F#
 And managers and agents, lawyers, publicists, and chaueffers
        B
And the party's never gonna end as far as any one can see
             F#
And then the friendly stranger shows up and says the first one's free
 
[Chorus]
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
 
[Verse]
    F#
And now the band has become the darlings of the media they're all the rage
F#
 And there's hysteria at public appearances and fistfights backstage
   B
It seems the gods have smiled upon the band, have embraced them well
            F#
So now it's carte blanche baby cause money talks even in hell
        B
And now comes ER's and stomach pumps and machines that kick start the heart
        F#
And the band breaks up and the bass player OD's as the album reaches number one on the Billboard chart
 
[Chorus]
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
         B                 F#
Rock and roll is a vicious game
