Intro - A, E, D, A - Repeat

Verse 1

A E

Tommy got off at the Texaco

D A

Came bustin' in to Norma's Cafe

E

Said come on man we gotta go

D A

You know how those part girls hate to wait

E

Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer

D A

Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car

E

Radio never came in too clear

D A

So I'd bang out one on my piece of junk guitar

Chorus

F#m G

Yeah we ruled from the blacktop

D A

To the levee where the party never stopped

E

Yeah there was power in the night

F#m G

The spirit was alive when we would sing

A E D G

Sha na na na na na na na

A

When We were kings

Verse 2

A E

Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name

D A

I turned around he said hey what do ya think

E

Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen

D A

He kissed her hard and took another drink

E

I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy

D A

She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones

E

I couldn't let that chance go by

D A

Yeah I sang her "You Can't Always Get What you Want"

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

A E

That was the fall of '69

D A

I guess Uncle Sam was hedging his bet

E

Tommy's number came up he said "Hey, I'll be fine"

D A

"I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget"

E

Angel and I went to wave goodbye

D A

I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again

E

You know I took her out after that a couple of times

D A

We always just wound up talkn' 'bout him

Repeat Chorus
