| A A6... |
| Be it dead or alive |
| People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving |
| We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins |
| Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong |
| Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone |
| Back in the pub the governor stops the clock |
| Rock is dead they say |
| Long live rock |
| Chorus |
| E | D | A | |
| Landslide, | rocks are | falling |
| Falling down around our very heads |
| We tried but you were yawning |
| E | D | |
| Look again |
| C | |
| Rock is dead |
| G/B | |
| Rock is dead |
| A | |
| Rock is dead |
| The place is really jumping to the Hiwatt amps |
| Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps |
| In the blackout they danced right into the aisle |
| And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles |
| Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock |
| Rock is dead they say |
| Long live rock |
| A | |
| Long live rock |
| I need it every night |
