Intro: Em    Am

Em            Am
My new purple shoes
     Em                      G
'bin amazing the people next door
G                     C
   And my rock'n'roll 45's
     Cm                        D           Dmaj7  D7
'bin enraging the folks on the lower floor


Em                    Am
I got a way  with the girls on my block
          Em                 Am
Tryin' my best be a real individual
Em                       G           G7
  And when we go down to Smokies and rock
           C            Cm         D7
They light up like it's some kinda ritual

Chorus:
Em            Am
Ooh give me a good guitar
            Em                       Am
and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Em                 G          
or just find me an open car
G7               C              Cm          D7
   I'll make the speed of light out of this place

Solo Em   G   (G#m    Bm)x3   (Cm or Eb)

Em              Am
     I like the good things in life
    Em                            Am
But most of the best things ain't free
       Em                  G7
Its the same situation just cuts like a knife
             C               Cm                D Dmaj7 D7
When you 're young and you're poor and you're crazy

Chorus:
Em            Am
Ooh give me a good guitar
            Em                       Am
and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Em                 G          
or just find me an open car
                 C              Cm          D7

   I'll make the speed of light out of this place

         D 
It's so easy, but I can't do it
So risky - But I gotta chance it
         Em                E7
It's so funny, there's nothing to laugh about

My money, that's all you wanna talk about
       D  F#m D7  E7        Em

It's in the lap of the Gods
G     A
Wo wo la la la oh
       D   A    Em      Bm    G
I can see what you want me to be
           A
But I'm no fool

No beginning, there's no ending
There's no meaning in my pretending
Believe me, life goes on and on and on
Forgive me when I ask you where do I belong
You say I can't set you free from me
But that's not true

             D          D7   D/B
It's in the lap of the Gods
G       A
Wo wo la la la wo
D  A  Em
Wo wo la la
Em       G
Wah wah ooh
            A
But I'm no fool
             D
It's in the lap of the Gods
