Song: Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie
Intro
Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie,
Who set up the lights and the mics for the shows
And Gertrude the groupie was a rock and roll fan,
Who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows.
First Verse
[G#]Roland the roadie met [C#]Gertrude the groupie
[C#]At a [G#]rock concert back in Ba[D#]yonne

[C#]But[D#] Roland the roadie felt [G#]love

[G#]And [D#]some folks loves ham hocks
[D#]And [C#]some folks loves pork chops
[C#]And [G#]some folks love vegetable [D#]soup
[D#]But Roland the roadie loves [C#]Gertrude the groupie,
But Gertrude the groupie loves groups
Third Verse
[G#]She stood up and screamed as the [C#]amber spot gleamed
[C#]On her [G#]heroes so skinny and [D#]tall

[G#]And[C#] Gertrude the [D#]groupie and she was in love with them [G#]all

[G#]Roland the roadie told [C#]Gertrude the groupie
[C#]To [G#]wait and he'd be[D#] her man
[G#]But while he dreamed of a [C#]rose covered home
[C#]She was [D#]out with the group in the [G#]van
