We be a guitar band
   C#/G#     G#        D# A#
We play across the land
Shootin' out tonight
Gonna keep you up alright
You hear the guitar sound
Playin' nice and loud
Rock you to your knees
Gonna make your destiny

Chorus:
G#  A#          D#      A#         D#
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
    A#          D#      A#         D#
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
    A#                    C#/G# G# D#

In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust

We hear the siren scream
It sounds so lean and mean
We love to shake it down
Know what we're talkin' bout?
We turn the amps up high
The crowd's gonna hit the sky
We play it fast and loose
Because this night we're gonna pull the fuse

Chorus

May be up to no good
