Rock City
D
I was running through the desert, I was looking for drugs,
Bm
And I was searching for a woman, Who was willing to love,
A
So I could take her like a woman.
G
Yeah take her like a woman.
D
I was looking for a bad girl, Looking for a bad boy,
Bm
Someone who could take all the night away.
A
Oh baby I could shake it like a woman.
G
Yeah shake it like a woman.
D
I got the eyes on me of a jealous man,
Bm
And if you're looking to run, Well then you've already ran.
A
I break down like a woman.
G
I break down like a woman.
E
I go back to Rock City, That's where she saw me,
E
Everybody's seen her, Everyone believes me.
*D,Bm,A,G*
D
I've been several miles and plenty more,
Bm
And I found myself face-first on the floor,
A
Searching for something.
G
But never finding something.
D
And I don't know where I belong,
Bm
I'm just trying to get myself back home
A
And get a little work,
D
Yeah find my little woman.
E
I go back to Rock City, That's where she saw me,
E
Everybody's seen her, Everyone believes me.
*solo* D,Bm,A,G
D Bm
Oh my my, oh my my, oh my my.
A
I need to find something.
D
I'm searching for something.

E
Everybody's seen her, Everyone believes me.
E
I go back to Rock City, That's where she saw me,
Everybody's seen her, Everyone believes me.
