Verse 1:
Well the ti[C]mes are gettin' hard for you little girl

[G]And you don't know just [D]how a woman feels
[Bb]You didn't know what rockn' roll was
[Eb]Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus

You didn't know that rock and roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
Chorus
Solo: I'm sorry but the solo i play isn't really the real solo so if you want what i
Partial Verse:
