Eric Church - Thats Damn Rock And Roll

Am G D C throughout

it aint a needle in a vein ,
it aint backstage sxx ,
it aint lines of cocaine on a private jet ,
it aint havin a posse full of hangers on following you around ,
it aint long hair , tattoos , playin too loud , ( no )
it aint a middle finger on a t – shirt , the establishments tryin to sell ,
its a guy with the balls who told the establishment to go to hell ,
it aint about the money you make , when a record gets sold ,
its about doin it for nothin , cause it lives in your soul .

C D Am
thats damn rock and roll ,

C D Am G D C
thats damn rock and roll ,

Am G
its a rock through a window , its a ride in the street ,

D C
its a rebel revolution , its fightin for pieces ,

Am G
burn baby burn , its a brick in the wall ,

D C
its the first one to stand , and the last one to fall ,

Am G
its a hip shaking devil on the stage at 2 below ,

D C
its doing what ya want instead of doin what your told ,

Am G
its a preacher by the wreck tellin folks they outta pray ,

thats damn rock and roll ,

get some grass cause the party , and the party got loud , and the party turned into
an angry crowd . drowning demons feel no pain , found a lot of ways to shame .

Am G

need some answers right or wrong , need some band to blame it on ,

C D Am
thats damn rock and roll , give all ya got till there aint nothin left ,

C D Am
thats damn rock and roll ,

Am G
another day , in another town ,

D C
loadin the stage , and the lights , and the sound ,

Am G
here they come boys , they ve opened doors ,

D C
