Intro: C F C G x2
C G Dm F
Verse 1
C G
Naked telephone poles can't describe
Dm F
The way I'm feeling about you tonight
C G
I'm on my back like an old brown jacket
Dm F
Like to stay in school but I just can't hack it
C G
And I'm out on the street feeling like dirt
Dm F
I'm afraid to get married because I know its gonna hurt
(F) G- C
And I say
Chorus
G Dm F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars
Dm
And me and you
C G Dm
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
F C G-Am C G-Am
But who will be left to play
----------------
C F C G

Verse 2
C G
Well I dreamed I saw the king in a fifty three chevy
Dm F
Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy
C G
And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi
Dm F
I couldn't see his face 'cause of the purple haze inside
C G
And he was born to be the king - he was born to be the man
Dm F
And he died though he was holy - although I doubt he'd understand
(F) G C
When I say
Chorus
G Dm F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars
Dm
And me and you
C G Dm
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
F C 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
C
If it means guitar you gotta have it
Am
And you got your axe and you got your group
C
And your old man thinks its a waste of loot
Am
And you wait all week for a Sullivan show
C Am Dm
And you know that's just where you wanna go
F
And you homework now is never complete
G
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
F
And than there's that boy who knows he's gotta play
C G
And a messy desk drawer full of broken strings
Dm F
You know these kids and you know of those things
Chorus
G Dm F
Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars
(F)
And me and you
C G Dm F
Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
