It’s the na- - ture of the race.

Bm/A A Dsus2 D Bm

A Dsus2 Bm7
She says, “You can’t hold the hand of a
Bm7/E A E/A A
rock ‘n’ roll man ve-ry long,
Dsus2 Bm7
Or count on your plans with a
Bm7/E A E/A A
rock ‘n’ roll man ve-ry long,
Dsus2 Bm7
Com-pete with the fans for your
Bm7/E A E/A A
rock ‘n’ roll man for ve-ry long,
