We Were Rock And Roll Chords - Janelle Monáe

INTRO

Em G Am Em

VERSE 1

Em I remember â€˜round Autumn time G I smell the breeze, I feel the sun Am Old memories come back to me Em The way we used to dance, the way you clapped your hands Em And I remember the smell of guns G War lived in me, but love finally won Am I've been delayed, I've been denied Bm And then you came around and took the crown

HOOK

Em We were unbreakable G We were like rock & roll Am We were like a king and queen Em I want you to know Em No matter how the story's told, G We were like rock & roll Am We were unbreakable Em I want you to know

VERSE 2

Em I remember a time alone G Wanted to dance, locked in your arms Am Your melody stays haunting on me Em You were twenty-one and thought we owned the sun Em And I remember our plan to run G My rebel ways and your utter nonsense Am We'd go insane, but it felt so fun Bm And now your queen is home to take your throne

HOOK

BRIDGE

Em Now help me say it's alright G You help me say it's alright Am Say it's alright, alright Em Say it's alright Em Now, help me say it's alright G Ooh alright Uh-huh Am Say it's alright, alright Em Say it's alright GUITAR SOLO Em Kellindo, help me sing it louder! G Am Em Help me sing it louder! Em G Ohhh! Am Em We had an incredible, unshakeable, unbreakable love Em Yeah, say it's alright G You are my rock & roll Am Em We had an incredible, unshakeable, unbreakable love, yeah
