Sound-wise it shouldn’t make much of a difference. Intro: / - - - / - - / - The blonde in the bleachers she flips her hair for you A-bove  the loudspeakers you start   to fall.             She follows you home  but you miss livin’ a-lone You can still hear sweet mysteries     cal-ling you. The bands and the roadies lo- vin’ ’em and lea- vin’ ’em It’s        pleasure to try    ’em it’s         trouble to keep ’em.       ’Cause it seems    like you’ve got- - -ta give up Such a piece   of your soul when you give up the chase. Feeling it hot       and cold you’re in rock ’n’ roll It’s the na- - ture of the race.                              It’s the un- - known child so sweet and wild It’s youth it’s too good to waste.                      / - / - - / - - / - - / -         She tapes her re-grets to the mi- - crophone stand             She says “You can’t hold the hand of a rock  ’n’ roll man ve-ry   long Or count on your plans with a rock  ’n’ roll man ve-ry   long Com-pete  with the fans for your rock  ’n’ roll man  for ve-ry   long The girls and the bands and the rock  ’n’ roll      man.” Ending: / - (saxophone interlude) End on A7
