1. Vers:

A#
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks


Omkvæd:

        A#              G#            D#         A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
        A#              G#            D#         A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
      A#                                       
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
D#
Try playin' in a rock roll band
        A#              G#             D#         A#
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll


Mellemspil (vers og omkvæd)


2. Vers:

Hotel motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band


Omkvæd:

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Outro:

A
Well it's a long way
It's a long way, you should've told me
It's a long way, such a long way
