They can’t take it from me if they tried


D D/E D/F# G
I lived through those early days
D D/E D/F# G
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
D D/E D/F# G
Just to keep from getting crazed

D D/E D/F# G D
Dressed in black from head to toe, two guitars across our backs
D/E D/F# G
We would walk the city roads
D D/E D/F# G
Seeking someone who would listen to the music
D D/E D/F# G
That we were writing down at home

D D/E D/F# G
But they can’t take it from me if they tried
D D/E D/F# G
I lived through those early days
D D/E D/F# G
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
D D/E D/F# G
Just to keep from getting crazy

We willed the thrill to never stop

Now everybody seems to have their own opinion

But as for me I don’t see how they can remember

When they weren’t where it was at
