None of them
Alright, so these guys like to vary somewhat with capos and downtuning, so I encourage to transpose
some of the weirder keys. Everything here is the actual note being played with no capo.
Pretty simple in terms of chords
Let me know if I screwed up, I might have screwed some manual transposing or just screwed up in general.
Have fun!
Longer Than You've Been Alive
C
C
We’ve been doing this longer than you’ve been alive
C
Propelled by some mysterious drive
F
And they still let me do it as weird as that seems
C
And I do most nights and then again in my dreams
G
Infinite hallways and giant hotels
F
Dressing room looks about as good as it smells
C
C
Bottles of whiskey bottles of beer
There's a bottle of medicine somewhere round here
F
We've been in nightclubs and we've in bars
C
Honky tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars
G
Most of our shows were a triumph of rock
F
Although some nights I might have been checking the clock
C
C
I'm only human though I'm super at times
I've jumped off of risers I should not have climbed
F
Rock jumps won't kill you till one of them does
C
Well they'll say he died doing what he loves
G
We got our share of loving in the past
F
Although we were all looking for someone who'd last
C
C
Well it must be hard to get partnered with me
Some narcissism some OCD
F
But love that comes easy's a fake or a fluke
C
Love is a marathon sometimes you puke
G
Speaking of which there has been alcohol
F
Oceans and oceans but that isn't all
G
Mountains of weed a hand full of pills
F
None of the hard stuff that shit kills
G
We've been doing it longer than you've been alive
F
20 good years and about 25
C
F C
Rock and roll's been very very good to me
G F C
The open road's the only place I wanna be
F C
Rock and roll's been very very good to me
G F C
The open road's the only place I wanna be
C
C
Now I'm not crazy bout songs that get self referential
And most of this stuff should be kept confidential
F
Oh but who even gives half a fuck any more
C
Well you should know the truth it's both a blast and a bore
G
Rock stars were once such mythical creatures
F
Up there with presidents, playmates, and preachers
C
C
Oh well now you just do it cause it's what you do
They throw underwear instead of money at you
F
And I've made a living out of shaking my ass
C
And if you offered an office I'd have to pass
G
But our jobs are all jobs and sometimes they suck
F
I love what I do and I've had pretty good luck
C
C
All the fans are all clapping screaming and squealing
And I won't lie to you that's a pretty sweet feeling
F
And I might butt heads with the guys in my band
C
But I never once went to work for the man
G
The men and the women like you him and her
F
We're sharing this night that will soon be a blur
G
We've been doing this longer than you've been alive
F
Get on the buss
F C
And tell the driver to driiiiiiiiive
F C
Rock and roll's been very very good to me
G F C
The open road's the only place I wanna be
F C
Rock and roll's been very very good to me
G F C
The open road's the only place I wanna be
F C
Rock and roll's been very very good to me
G F C
The open road's the only place I wanna be
G F C
I said the open road's the only place I wanna be
C
Yeeaaaahhh!!!!

Telling your journal how badly you miss me

And you can't believe I'll be coming so soon

Finally getting the one you've been wanting
