I came into town as a man of renown..
G D
a writer of songs about freedom and joy.
D C
A hall had been rented and I was presented..
G D C G D
as the kind of a singer that all could enjoy.
D C
As I climbed up the stair to the stage that was there,
G D
it was obvious something was missing.
D C
I could tell by the vibes they wouldn't be bribed..
Em7 G A7sus4 A A7
they weren't in the mood to listen......they yelled out..
CHORUS:
D C Em7 F#m7
Play me a rock and roll song..don't play me songs about
G A7
freedom and joy.
D C G A D
Play me a rock and roll song..or don't play me no song at all.

and things that I've come to believe in.

Some track star yelled thank God he's leaving.

Well, if I played you a rock and roll song..
