[Verse 1]
G                                Em
Well the Thin White Duke took a final bow
        Am                    D
There's one more star in the heavens now
     G                       Em
The moon won't rise and the sun won't set
        Am                      D
There's so many things I would rather forget
         C                    D
And I'm all dressed up in my mohair suir
G
Watching Peter Sellers
C
Thinkin' of you
Am                              D
Wond’rin’ where it's all gonna end


[Chorus]
             C   G        C       G
It's been a bad year for rock and roll
  C   G   D
(Bad year)
C    G        Em
Bad year for rock and roll
   C       G
I wanna go out
           D            G
But I'll probably stay home

[Verse 2]
     G                           Em
Now what you gonna do when your bird won't sing
     Am              D
You try and you try everything
     G                          Em
And whatcha gonna do when your last friend's gone
        Am                          D
You're still at the bar and they've all moved on
       C                        D
I can see it in your eyes, it's not too late
    G
We don't have to die
           C
To reach a   better place
Am                         D
Man, I really pray that's true


[Chorus]
             C   G        C       G
It's been a bad year for rock and roll
  C   G   D
(Bad year)
C    G        Em
Bad year for rock and roll
   C       G
I wanna go out
           D            G
But I'll probably stay home

        C   G   D G
Such a bad year
  C   G    D
(Bad year)
               C  G  D
For rock and roll
           C  G  D
Rock and roll
C   G   D
                     C  G  D
Where's my rock and roll
