Write on (video)

Em - D - C - D

G Em D

1. Write on, even though there’s no one listening to your songs, write on,

G Em D

shine on, get it together, let your light break through, shine on,

baby, shine on !

G Em D

2. Write on, sitting on your own, waiting for the phone, come on,

mm, come on, come on !

G Em D

Write on, for your fame and fortune will follow you, coming on strong,

coming on strong,

C

Don’t feel bad ’cause the radio ain’t playing them,

- G

it won’t be long till you’re going out and slaying them, shine on.

C

You’re not the first, you won’t be the last

G D

to feel the frustration of a musical fast, write on, baby, write on !

G

Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul,

D

ballads with feeling, send your audience reeling, rock on, rock on !

C

Find a man with a van and a back up band,

G

who’ll give you a hand on your one night stand, rock on, baby, rock on.

C

Give them your licks, getting off on their kicks,

G

swaying in motion to a rhythmic potion, rock on !

D

+ Baby, rock on, give it to me ! + G - Em - D (2x)

C

3. Music freaks and all those hustlers,

G

hangers on trying to make a con, ride on,

C

Don’t sign on the line till you know it’s all fine,

G D

it’s your life, baby, you got to give it time, rock on, baby, rock on.

G Em D

4. Write on, even though there’s no one listening to your songs,

write on, baby,

G Em D

Shine on, get it together, let your light break through, shine on,

shine on.

C

+ Rock and Roll with a touch of soul …
