Song: It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (but I like it)
By:   The Rolling Stones

[intro:]  4 X E 

[verse: 1]   
E
If I could stick my pen in my heart
I would spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
I Would you think the boy is strange?
         A  G  E
Ain't he strange?

[verse: 2]        
E
If I could win ya, If I could sing ya
a love song so divine
would it be enough for your cheating heart
if I broke down and cried?
      A G E
 If I cried?
 
[chorus:] 
        A                                        E
I said, I know... it's only rock and roll, but I like it
A
I know... it's only rock and roll,
      E        D        A     E
but I like it, like it, yes I do
        A
Oh well I like it 
  E

  A

       D         A
I said can't you see
     D        A              E
that this old boy has been a-lonely
     
[verse: 3]  
E
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on the stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain?
          A G E
Ease your brain?

[verse: 4]    
E
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy yah, would it slide on by yah,
Would you think the boy's insane?
     A G E
He's insane

[chorus:] {repeat}

[bridge:]

           B                                 A

          B                                    A    A G E
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
