Forgot my six-string Razor, hit the sky, half-way to Memphis 'fore I realized
D/F# G E/G# A Bm A G =/F# x7
Well I rang the information, my axe was cold, they said she rides the train to Oreoles
A D A D
Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail, and the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
A D /G-/F#-/E-/D-/C# - /B - /A-/G D G
And I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail, all the way from Memphis
D/F# G E/G# A Bm A G - D/F# - /E=/F#=/E D
Well I got to Oreoles y'know, it took a month, and there was my guitar, electric junk
D/F# G E/G# A Bm
Some spade said rock'n'rollers, you're all the same,
A G =/F#
Man that's your instrument, I felt so ashamed
A D A D
Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll, through the Bradford cities and the Oreoles
A D /G-/F#-/E-/D-/C# - /B - /A-/G
And you look like a star but you're still on the dole, all the way from Memphis
Solo: D G D G
A D A D
Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll, from the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
A D /G-/F#-/E-/D-/C# - /B - /A-/G
And you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes, all the way from Memphis
A D A D
Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll, as your name gets hot so your heart grows cold
A D /G-/F#-/E-/D-/C# - /B - /A-/G
And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old, all the way from Memphis
A D A D
Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll, through the Bradford cities and the Oreoles
A D /G-/F#-/E-/D-/C# - /B - /A-/G
And you look like a star but you're really out on parole, all the way from Memphis
Solo: D G D G
