#(verse 1)
[A]Tommy got off at the Te[E]xeco,
[D]Came bustin in to [A]Norma's Cafe,
[A]Said come on man [E]we gotta go,
Yea you k[D]now how those party girls h[A]ate to wait,
(verse 2)
[A]Filled up his daddy's trunk with[E] ice and beer,
[D]He was always steal[A]in the old man's car,
[A]Radio never came in t[E]oo clear,
Slap b[D]ang out one on my piece of[A] junk guitar,
(chorus)
[F#m]yea we ruled[G], from the blacktop,
[D]To the leather where, the [A]party never stops,
[A]yea there was p[E]ower in the night,
[F#m]Spirit was alive when[D] we would sing, our,
[A]Sha na na n[E]a na na na [D]na[-], [G]
When we were k[A]ings,[E] when we were k[D]ing[-]s, [A]
(verse 3)
Sitting around the fire one night,
Tell one called my name,
Turned around and said what do you think,
Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen,
Kissed hre hard and took another drink,
(verse 4)
I said you must be an angel puttin up with this guy,
She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones,
I couldn't let that chance go by yea,
I sang You can't always get what you want,
(chorus)
[F#m]yea we ruled[G], from the blacktop,
[D]To the leather where, the [A]party never stops,
[A]yea there was p[E]ower in the night,
[F#m]Spirit was alive when[D] we would sing, our,
[A]Sha na na n[E]a na na na [D]na[-], [G]
When we were k[A]ings,[E] when we were k[D]ing[-]s, [A]
(verse 5)
Yea that was the fall of '69,
I guess Uncle Sam was hedgin' his better,
Tommy's number came up he said I'll be fine,
I'll teach em' a lesson they'll never forget,
(verse 6)
Angel and I went to wave good-bye,
I guess we always thought we'd see him again,
You know I took her out after that a couple of times,
But we always wound up talkin bout him,
(chorus)
