After all the 6 chords below, return to the root chord on 
beat 4.  I didn't add that part to keep from cluttering up 
the transcription ever further. 
 
Verse 1: 

A        A6   A   A6    A     A6  A   A6 
Down at the Astoria the scene was changing 
A  A6     A    A6   A       A6    A  A6 
Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating 
D  D6       D     D6      D     D6     D   D6 
We were the first band to vomit at the bar 
    A    A6  A        A6     A     A6  A   A6 
And find the distance to the stage too far 
E   E6         E       E6      E   E6 E     E6 
Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'-clock 
F         G         D 
Rock is   dead they say 
      A    A    A   A6 A  A6  A  A6 A  A6 
      Long live rock 
 
Chorus: 
  A     A    A      A   A6      A  A6 
  Long  live rock!    I need it every 
  A     A6 A  A6  A  A6 A  A6 
  night 
  D     D    D      D      D6     D    D6 
  Long  live rock!    Come on and join the 
  A    A6 A  A6  A  A6 A  A6 
  line 
  F     F    D 
  Long  live rock!               Be it dead or 
  A   A6  A   A6  A   A6  A   A6 
 alive 
 
Verse 2: 

People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving 

We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins 

Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong 

Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone 

Back in the pub the governor stops the clock 

Rock is dead they say 

Long live rock 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Bridge: 
  E          D         A 
  Landslide, rocks are falling 
   E                     D    A 
   Falling down upon our very heads 
E            D        A         E           D 
We tried but you were yawning.  Look again 
        C 
Rock is dead 
        G/B 
Rock is dead 
        A 
Rock is dead 
 
Verse 3: 
The place is really jumping to the high watt amps 
'Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps 
In the blackout they danced right into the aisle 
And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles 
Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock 
Rock is dead they say 
Long live rock 
 
(Chorus) (x2)
