[Verse 1]
Gm                    Eb          Gm       D
   The singer was the writer, he was of a softer cut
Gm            Eb                  Gm            D
   He wouldn’t come and join the party, he'd be back scribbling in his bunk
Gm                      Eb                  Gm        D
   The boys would go on crazy, they were like drunken dogs in heat
Gm                       Eb                       Gm              D
   They'd head out after every show, and try with any girl they'd meet


[Chorus]
Eb
Rock 'n roll, baby
Bb
Rock 'n roll
D              Gm
Money, drugs, desire
     F
The world is nothing,  and life is less
Eb
Let’s go light a fire, baby
                Gm
Let’s go make a mess


[Verse 2]
Gm                          Eb               Gm                    D
   The singer’s wife tagged along for a week, and the two of them would get drunk
Gm                 Eb                  Gm                D
   They'd come and join us, and all was cool, until they caught the bug
Gm               Eb                  Gm         D
   An all-night drive to Berlin, we found some girls game for the trip
Gm                   Eb            Gm               D
   Booze was flying 'round the bus, and a fire was getting lit


[Chorus 2]
Eb
Rock 'n roll, baby
Bb
Rock 'n roll
D              Gm
Money, drugs, desire
     F
The world is nothing,  and life is less
Eb
Let’s go light a fire, baby
                Gm
Let’s go make a mess


[Verse 3]
Gm                      Eb        Gm                        D
   One thing led to another thing, and clothes were on the floor
Gm                      Eb     Gm                 D
   A married couple joining in, though one of 'em liked it more
Gm                              Eb           Gm                D
   The look on his face as he caught her eye, and she riding wild and free
Gm                         Eb              Gm             D
   There’s nothing like a woman’s pleasure, to get up a man’s jealousy


[Chorus 3]
Eb
Rock 'n roll, baby
Bb
Rock 'n roll
D              Gm
Money, drugs, desire
     F
The world is nothing,  and life is less
Eb
Let’s go light a fire, baby
                Gm
Let’s go make a mess


[Verse 4]
Gm                    Eb            Gm                   D
   I saw him slip off down the back, and she finished on top of me
Gm                            Eb            Gm       D
   And in the morning, in the morning, the dues were plain to see
Gm                 Eb                     Gm                         D
   He did not show up for the Berlin show, nor did he show up at the hotel
Gm                   Eb            Gm                D
   The tour promoter lost his mind, and the gig was shot to hell


[Chorus 4]
Eb
Rock 'n roll, baby
Bb
Rock 'n roll
D              Gm
Money, drugs, desire
     F
The world is nothing,  and life is less
Eb
Let’s go light a fire, baby
                Gm
Let’s go make a mess
