Riff 2a and 2b
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
Rhy. Fig 4a and 5a
Do you know what you want?
You don¥t know for sure
You don¥t feel right, you can¥t find a cure
And you¥re getting less than what you¥re looking for
You don¥t have money
Or a fancy car
And you¥re tired of wishing on a fallen star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Rhy. Fig 3
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Rhy. Fig 4b and 5b
"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer
Or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat it or you won¥t get far
Cause it¥s never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand
Or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don¥t start living til you realize
Rhy. Fig 6a, 6b and 6c
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Rhy. Fig 8
God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Save rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
Rhy. Fig 10
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
Rhy. Fig 11
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
[Repeat Rhy. Fig 11 with spoken words and fade]
