  A        A6  A    A6    A     A6   A   A6    
  Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
  Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating
  
  D  D6       D     D6      D     D6     D   D6     
  We were the first band to vomit at the bar
  
      A    A6  A     A6        A     A6   A   A6       
  And find the distance to the stage too far
  
  E    E6        E       E6      E    E6    E   E6 
  Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock
  
  
  F       G         D
  Rock is dead they say
  
                   A   A6  A6  A A D (Same as intro)
  Long live rock
  
  Long live rock
  I need it every night
  
  D    D    D     
  Long live rock
  D   D6       D    D6 A   A6...
  Come on and join the line
  
  F         D
  Long live rock
                A  A6...
  Be it dead or alive
  
  People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving
  We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins
  Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong
  Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone
  Back in the pub the governor stops the clock
  Rock is dead they say
  Long live rock
  
  Chorus
  
  E          D         A
  Landslide, rocks are falling
  Falling down around our very heads
  We tried but you were yawning
  
  E            D
  Look again
  
  C          
  Rock is dead
  
  G/B          
  Rock is dead
  
  A           
  Rock is dead
  
  The place is really jumping to the Hiwatt amps
  Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps
  In the blackout they danced right into the aisle
  And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles
  Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock
  Rock is dead they say
  Long live rock
  
  A
  Long live rock
  I need it every night
