Intro: x2
Verse 1
Naked telephone poles can t describe
The way I m feeling about you tonight
I m on my back like an old brown jacket
Like to stay in school but I just can t hack it
And I m out on the street feeling like dirt
I m afraid to get married because I know its gonna hurt
(F) G- C
And I say
Chorus
Oh oh oh - there s the last of the rock stars
And me and you
Oh oh oh - rock n roll is here to stay
G-Am G-Am
But who will be left to play

Verse 2
Well I dreamed I saw the king in a fifty three chevy
Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy
And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi
I couldn t see his face cause of the purple haze inside
And he was born to be the king - he was born to be the man
And he died though he was holy - although I doubt he d understand
(F)
When I say
Chorus
Oh oh oh - there s the last of the rock stars
And me and you
Oh oh oh - rock n roll is here to stay
G-Am
But who will be left to play
C Am C Am .... (just keep playing this while he presents the band or he plays Shout )
Verse 3
If it means guitar you gotta have it
And you got your axe and you got your group
And your old man thinks its a waste of loot
And you wait all week for a Sullivan show
And you know that s just where you wanna go
And you homework now is never complete
You don t care - cause you have got that beat

Verse 4
F-C C-G G-Dm
So a highdy hi and a heydy hey
Dm-F F-C
And a girls that home on Friday night and a boy that s out to play
C-G G-Dm
And some of us are masters and some or us are slaves
And than there s that boy who knows he s gotta play
And a messy desk drawer full of broken strings
You know these kids and you know of those things
Chorus
Oh oh oh - there s the last of the rock stars
(F)
And me and you
Oh oh oh - rock n roll is here to stay
