Intro - A, E, D, A - Repeat
Verse 1
To[A]mmy got off at the Te[E]xaco
C[D]ame bustin' in to No[A]rma's Cafe
Said come on man w[E]e gotta go
Y[D]ou know how those part girls[A] hate to wait
Filled up his daddy's trun[E]k with ice and beer
Y[D]eah he was always s[A]tealin' the old man's car
Radio never came i[E]n too clear
So I'd b[D]ang out one on my pi[A]ece of junk guitar
Chorus
Yeah [F#m]we ruled[G] from the blacktop
T[D]o the levee where the pa[A]rty never stopped
Yeah there was po[E]wer in the night
The sp[F#m]irit was alive when w[G]e would sing
S[A]ha na na n[E]a na na n[D]a na[G]
When We wer[A]e kings
Verse 2
Sit[A]tin' around the fire one ni[E]ght Tommy called my name
[D]I turned around he said h[A]ey what do ya think
Had his arm around the prettiest g[E]irl I'd ever seen
[D]He kissed her hard and took [A]another drink
I say you must be an a[E]ngel puttin' up with this guy
S[D]he laughed and said p[A]lay me some Rolling Stones
I couldn't let that ch[E]ance go by
Yeah I[D] sang her "You Can't Always G[A]et What you Want"
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
T[A]hat was the[E] fall of '69
[D]I guess Uncle Sam w[A]as hedging his bet
Tommy's number came [E]up he said "Hey, I'll be fine"
"I[D]'ll teach 'em a lesson they[A]'ll never forget"
Angel and I went to wa[E]ve goodbye
[D]I guess we'd always thought we'[A]d see him again
You know I took her out after t[E]hat a couple of times
[D]We always just wound up t[A]alkn' 'bout him
Repeat Chorus
