Still Rolling By Jeff Gilpin
June 20th, 2007
Intro
[G] [D] [C] [Em] [C] [D] [C]
Verse 1
We [Em]grew up in the age of [G]Rock and Roll
We [D]shuffled to the R and [A]B
[Em]Colors were blurred and [G]so were our minds
But we [D]weren't too blind to [A]see
Verse 2
We [Em]knew about Sweet [G]Emotion
And [D]R E S P E C [A]T
We [C]knew about Country Roads
And we [D]knew about Honesty
Pre-chorus 1
We [G]grew up with the radio
And the [D]radio grew up with us
[A]Listening to all sorts of music
[C]Before it learned how to cuss
Chorus 1
Still I [G]want [D]you to [C]want me
Like [Em]Super Tramp sang back in the [C]day
And I [G]try a [D]little [C]tenderness
As [Em]Otis use to [D]say
[G]Just like [D]Chaka [C]Kahn did
You [Em]tell me something [C]good
[D]We'll still keep it rolling
Through[C]out the neighbor[Em]hood
Verse 3
Now [Em]music we hear seems to [G]have evolved
It's [D]like a little bit of every[A]thing
[Em]Country's rocking the blues are [G]twanging on
And [D]we got all the rest in be[A]tween
Verse 4
But [Em]just when you think it's [G]completely changed
You [D]hear a song that takes you [A]back
As new [C]artists reinvent themselves
By [D]covering Beatles tracks
Pre-chorus 2
We [G]grew up with the radio
But we're [D]both not grown up yet
The [A]more it changes it stays the same
[C]What a novel concept
Chorus 2
We're [G]still [D]sad and [C]lonely
Our [Em]Blues Eyes Crying in the [C]Rain
Getting [G]high [D]on our [C]memories
And [Em]thinking about Riding that [D]Train
[G]Drifting on that [D]blue ba[C]you
And [Em]dreaming about yester[C]day
[D]We're still rolling
[C]Dreaming it's here to [Em]stay
Break
The [C]new stuff's not the [D]old stuff
But it's [G]definitely the [Em]fruit[D]
And it [C]grew from [D]what we all [Em]planted[D]
Now the [C]old stuff is the [D]new stuff
But [Em]with a different [G]twist[D]
So [C]shout and jump a[D]bout like you [Em]did
Verse 5
I [Em]wonder about where [G]music's heading
Let's [D]say in [A]50 years time
Will [Em]we still [G]recognize it
Will the [D]lyrics still [A]rhyme
Verse 6
Will [Em]we hear retro [G]music
From [D]what we hear to[A]day
Or [C]will our future descendants
Just [D]bury it away
Pre-chorus 3
[G]Will there still be radio
What [D]does the future hold
It could [A]turn to something else
And like [C]Rock-and-Roll break the mold
Ending Chorus 3
It could be [G]bye-bye [D]love and [C]happiness
Or [Em]something in the [C]way
We [G]greet the [D]morning [C]sunshine
That [Em]sends it on it's [D]way
We could get [G]caught up [D]in pos[C]sessions
Like a [Em]gypsy cara[C]van
But I [D]think we'll still be rolling
On down the [C]line until the [Em]end.
