Biography:
Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish glam rock band formed in 1979, whose most successful period came in the early 1980s. The band broke up in 1985 after their drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley died in a car accident a year earlier. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009.
In the 80s, Hanoi Rocks were the most successful Finnish band internationally and are still popular in the United States, Japan, and the UK.

Verse:
Em
I love my freedom
C G
And speaking out of my mind
C G D
I can see how that could get somebody down
Em
Tho' you can't always see them

You can feel their vicious vibes
C G D
They somehow seem to find their way around
C Am D
And you'll never see me fail
C Am D
And you can't make me disappear
Chorus:
G D Em C
BEEN OBSCURED BY TOO MUCH DARKNESS
G D Em C
OVERCOME WITH SO MUCH SADNESS

C G
It's a Universal Law
C G D
My kind of spirit just can't be controlled
Em
I can only win
C G
Even if I lose
C G D
I always find out something I can use
C Am D
No use tryin' to stop me now
C Am D
To overshadow me somehow

My gang's a Rock'n'Roll band
