D                     C
I came into town as a man of renown
G6                       D
A writer of songs about freedom and joy
D                          C
A hall had been rented and I was presented
       G6                     D               C   G6
As the kind of a singer most folks could enjoy
D                                C
As I climbed up the stair to the stage standing there
       G6                    D       (fill 1) 
It was obvious something was missing
D                              C
I could tell by the vibes they wouldn't be bribed
     Em7            G6       A7sus4  A7   A7sus2  A7
They weren't in the mood to listen, they yelled out
D         C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Em7           F#m7        G6          A7 A7sus2 A7
Don't play me songs about freedom and joy
D         C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
   G6            A7         D
Or don't play me no song at all

D                              C
I played them some songs about peace and contentment
    G6                       D
And things that I've come to believe in
                        C
When I was through to a chorus of boo
     Em7               G6              A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Some track star yelled thank God he's leaving
            D         C 
Now someone play me a rock 'n' roll song
     Em7       F#m7           G6          A7
I've had it to here with your flowers and beads
D         C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
   Em7           A7         D
Or don't play me no song at all (fill 1)
(D)                    C
Well if I played you a rock 'n' roll song
    Em7         F#m7           G6         A7
How could it be fair 'cause my head isn't there
        D                   C
So I'll leave you with your rock 'n' roll songs
    Em7         A7          D
And make my way back to the country
D                       C
Still I hear play me a rock 'n' roll song
Em7           F#m7    G6            A7 A7sus2 A7
Don't give me music I don't want to hear
D         C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Em7                  F#m7        G6          A7 A7sus2 A7
I should have stayed home with a big case of beer
D         C
Play me a rock 'n' roll song 
   Em7           A7          F  E Eb D
Or don't play me no song at all
(Outro solo in original version)
