Song: Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie

Intro

Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie,

Who set up the lights and the mics for the shows

And Gertrude the groupie was a rock and roll fan,

Who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows.

[G#]Roland the roadie met [C#]Gertrude the groupie
[C#]At a [G#]rock concert back in Ba[D#]yonne

[G#]She stood up and screamed as the [C#]amber spot gleamed
[C#]On her [G#]heroes so skinny and [D#]tall
