CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO: Cadd9 C   Cadd9  C


I watched him take the stage 
       F             C
Like a giant there before me 
  F                           Csus4
A poet of the people standing tall 
C
Flood lights beaming red 
   F                 C
On steel strings and sweat 
           F                                G
The finest tunes that ever echoed off those walls 


        C
And the power of his voice 
    F              C
All rage, fire and thunder 
  F                    C          F                 G
I knew that I had changed and I'd never be the same 
    C
Now every time since then 
       F               C
When I hear his voice again 
      F             G      C
I get carried back to that day 


CHORUS:
              G       F       C
'Cause it was rock 'n roll to me 
            G         F        C
He might as well have been the King 
            Am       
Now I could walk a thousand miles 
             G               C
And it would be like I stood still 
         Dm7        F
Spend my whole life trying 
        Dm7   F          C       Cadd9  C
And I'd never fill those shoes 



I got my first guitar 
     F                  C
When I was twelve years old 
         F                          Csus4
It was a fifteen dollar flea market prize 
C
Something in me burned 
        F                  C
From my fingers through my veins 
        F                            G      
And the fullest moon lit the darkest skies 


    C
Now I'm just one of many 
        F              C
Setting out along this path 
     F                  C
Over dirt roads that he paved 
    F                 G      
And new roads that he made 
C
Searching for a song 
         F              C
With his legend shining on 
         F                G              C
Like the Queensport Light glowing in the bay


CHORUS:
       G       F       C
It was rock 'n roll to me 
            G         F        C
He might as well have been the King 
            Am       
Now I could walk a thousand miles 
             G               C
And it would be like I stood still 
         Dm7        F
Spend my whole life trying 
        Dm7   F          C     
And I'd never fill those shoes 


INSTRUMENTAL: C   F  C  F   Dm7   C   F  C  F  G  C


CHORUS:
       G       F       C
It was rock 'n roll to me 
            G         F        C
He might as well have been the King 
            Am       
Now I could walk a thousand miles 
             G               C
And it would be like I stood still 
         Dm7        F
Spend my whole life trying 
        Dm7   F          C   
And I'd never fill those shoes 
    Dm7   F          C   
I'd never fill those shoes
