G C
Hey, hey, my, my
G D
Rock n' roll will never die
G C
Just hang your hair down in your eyes
G D G
You'll make a million dollars style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
G C
Well, I was in this band goin' nowhere fast
G D
We sent out demos but everybody passed
G C
So one day we finally took the plunge
G D G
Moved out to Seattle to play some grunge
C
Washington state that is...
G D G
Space needle, Eddie Vedder
Mudhoney
G C
Now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirts
G D
We turn our amps up until it hurts
G C
We've got bad attitudes and what's more
G D
When we play we stare straight down at the floor
G C
Woweee! Pretty scary
G
How pensive
D G
How totally alternative
G C
Now to fit in on the Seattle scene
G D
You've got to do something they ain't never seen
G C
So thinkin' up a gimmick one day
G D G
We decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note
C D
Under any circumstances
Silence...
Music's original alternative
G
Root's grunge
G C
Well we spread the word through the underground
G D
That we were the hottest new thing in town
G C
The record guy came out to see us one day
G D
And just like always we didn't play
G
It knocked him out
C
He said he loved our work
D
He said he loved our work, but he wasn't sure if he could
G C
Sell a record with nothing on it
D
I said tell 'em we're from Seattle
G
He advanced us two and half million dollars
G C
Hey, hey, my, my
G D
Rock n' roll will never die
G C
Hang your hair down in your eyes
G D G
You'll make a million dollars style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
G C
Well they made us do a video but that wasn't tough
G D
'Cause we just filmed ourselves smashing stuff
G C
It's kind of weird 'cause there was no music
G D
But MTV said they'd love to use it
G C
The kids went wild, the kids went nuts
G
Rolling Stone gave us a five star review
D
Said we played with guts
G C
We're scoring chicks, taking drugs
G D
Then we got asked to play MTV Unplugged
G
You should have seen it
We went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions of
G C D G
the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place
G C D G
Then we smashed our s**t
G C
Well we blew 'em away at the Grammys show
G D
By refusing to play and refusing to go
G C
And then just when we thought fame would last forever
G D
Along come this band that wasn't even together
Now that's alternative
Now that's alternative to alternative
G C G D G C GDG
I feel stupid...and contagious
G C
Well our band got dropped and that ain't funny
G D
'Cause we're all hooked on drugs but we're outta money
G C
So the other day I called up the band
G D
I said boys I've taken all I can
G C
Shave off your goatees, pack the van
D G
We're going back to Athens...
Hey, hey, my, my

Rock n' roll will never die
