[Intro]

G  D  C x2
Em  D  C  D

G  C x2

[Verse]

G       C               G                      C      Cadd9
Freedom found me when I first heard The Beatles sing
G  D   Em                 Am                    D
Music surroundin' me, the church bells start to ring
G                  C   Cadd9 G                  C     Cadd9
I stole my daddy's vinyl and burned that needle out
G     D         Em          Am     D       G          D
Jimi, Janis and Morrison, a garden full of sound
Em                   Bm             C              G
I sold my car for an old guitar and set out on the road
Am                                  D
My Mama cried as she waved goodbye, prayin' for my soul

[Chorus]

G                C           G                C
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
     G           D      Em             D    C
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die, I
   G             C       G                 C
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
      G         D           Em             D       C
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

G  D  C  x2
Em  D  C  D

[Verse 2]

G                            C             G              C    Cadd9
Well, I learned a long, long time ago that life is like a song
        G     D       Em           C             D
And the music goes on playing even after you are gone
        Em                  Bm
But to live so fast just to die so young
  C                   G
I hope you found some peace
Am                       D
Everything I am today is what you made of me

[Chorus]

G                C           G                C
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
     G           D      Em             D    C
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die, I
   G             C       G                 C
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
      G         D           Em             D       C
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

       Em                    Bm
People come and go, but deep down I know
      C             Cm
We'll meet again someday

[Chorus]

   G             C           G                C
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
G         D        Em               D      C
Thought I was done livin', but I survived
   G             C       G                 C
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
G               D           Em             D      C
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

G  C  x2

[Post-Chorus]

   G          C
In rock and roll
   G          C
In rock and roll
   G          C
In rock and roll
   G          C   (x16)
