For the strumming pattern, begin on beat 4 with the percussive strum and downstroke. Throughout
the pattern you can change between percussive (fully muted) and partially muted strums to fill in
the gaps between full chord strums.
[Verse]
Riding down the highway
Going to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playing rock n roll
Getting robbed, Getting stoned, Getting beat up, Broken boned
Getting had, Getting took I tell you folks, it s harder than it looks
[Chorus]
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If you think it s easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock n roll band
It s a long way to the top if you wanna to rock n roll
[Break]
x 4
[Verse]
Hotel, motel
Make you want to cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Getting old Getting grey Getting ripped off Under paid
Getting sold Second hand That s how it goes, playing in a band
[Chorus]
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it s rough and mean
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
[Outro]
It s a long way
Such a long way
It s a long way
Such a long way
