------------------

Intro:	E, A	4 x


1.)
I was born to the sound of the shipyard poundin' and a lonesome foghorn blowin'
	E					          A
where the noise and the dirt and the steelworks filled the sky.
	    E					            A
I was raised in the days when the old time ways looked set to keep on goin'
	E					        A
and you kept your place and never questioned why.
         E				      A
And it was all in black and white, but 'til it came one Saturday night
	    D					A
there was a church hall function and people come from miles around
							       E
there was a band that played guitars, and the us they looked like stars
	     D				      A
they got the old folks running up and tellin' them to turn it down
						    	       D

but we said yeah, yeah, we're living in a Rock 'n' Roll town.
	     E						 A


Instrumental:	E, A   2 x


2.)
We were just that age, when the world's a stage so we took off all the chances
	 E						A
there was a second hand store where we laid our money down
	      E						A
steppin' out live at a downbeat dive, where the kids knew all the dances
   E						  A
comin' on strong like a meanest thing around.
   E					 A
But one dark and rainy night, when the boys began to fight
	 D				A
I took a midnight-flyer and I knew where I was bound
						 E
I got in with a big time band and the singer took me by the hand
      D					A
and she said boy you can really lay that rhythmn down
						  D

and I said yeah, yeah, I come from a Rock 'n' Roll town.
	    E					    A


Instrumental:
 Yeah, Yeah   -   Yeah, Yeah	2 x



3.)
Around the world in a crazy dream with my guitar slung on my shoulder
  E					    A
and a car to meet me everywhere I go
	E		          A
I'm doing fine with this life of mine, but before I get much older
      E					      A
I'm going back to the only place I know.
      E				    A
But the times keep moving on and those downbeat times all gone
	  D				  A
and the kids are dancing to the rhythmn of a different sound
	  A						 E
and it's the same old dance I know and they do it everywhere I go
	      D				    A
and I'm tellin' you boy, you can never keep a good thing down
	   A						  D

they're singin' yeah, yeah, we're livin' in Rock 'n' Roll town
		 E					   A
they're singin' yeah, yeah, we're livin' in Rock 'n' Roll town
		 E					   A
