[F]Been around and seen a lot to [C]shake me any[G]how
[G]Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
But the [F]worst crime that I ever did was [C]playing rock'n'[G]roll
But the [D]money's no good,[F] just get a [G]grip on yourself
But the [D]money's no good,[F] just get a [G]grip on yourself
[G]Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside
[F]The air in here in pretty thin, I [C]think I'll go out[G]side
[G]Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The [F]worst crime that I ever did was [C]play some rock'n'[G]roll
But the [D]money's no good,[F] just get a [G]grip on yourself
But the [D]money's no good,[F] just get a [G]grip on yourself
And you should know!

[G]Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole
[F]Just strap on your guitar and we'll [C]play some rock and [G]roll
