CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
I watched him take the stage
Like a [F]giant there be[C]fore me
A [F]poet of the people standing [Csus4]tall
[C]Flood lights beaming red
On [F]steel strings and [C]sweat
The finest [F]tunes that ever echoed off those [G]walls
And the [C]power of his voice
All [F]rage, fire and [C]thunder
I [F]knew that I had chang[C]ed and I'd [F]never be the same [G]
Now [C]every time since then
When I [F]hear his voice a[C]gain
I get [F]carried back t[G]o that [C]day
CHORUS:
'Cause it was [G]rock 'n [F]roll to [C]me
He might as [G]well have [F]been the [C]King
Now I could [Am]walk a thousand miles
And it would [G]be like I stood [C]still
Spend my [Dm7]whole life [F]trying
And I'd [Dm7]never [F]fill those [C]shoes [Cadd9][C]
I got my first guitar
When [F]I was twelve years [C]old
It was a [F]fifteen dollar flea market [Csus4]prize
[C]Something in me burned
From my [F]fingers through my [C]veins
And the [F]fullest moon lit the darkest [G]skies
Now [C]I'm just one of many
Setting [F]out along this [C]path
Over [F]dirt roads that he [C]paved
And [F]new roads that he [G]made
[C]Searching for a song
With his [F]legend shining [C]on
Like the [F]Queensport Light [G]glowing in the [C]bay
CHORUS:
It was [G]rock 'n [F]roll to [C]me
He might as [G]well have [F]been the [C]King
Now I could [Am]walk a thousand miles
And it would [G]be like I stood [C]still
Spend my [Dm7]whole life [F]trying
And I'd [Dm7]never [F]fill those [C]shoes
