  			A                                                 
Well we are big rock singers   
 
we've got golden fingers                             
                              E                                    
and we're loved everywhere we go,                 
 
we sing about beauty and we sing about truth     
E7                        A                       
at ten thousand dollars a show;                   
 
we take all kind of pills                         
 
to give us all kind of thrills,                   
                           D                              
but the thrill we've never known,                 
        E                                         
is the thrill that'll get you                    
 
when you get your picture                         
                            
A                                                 
on the cover of the Rolling Stone                 
 
 
CHORUS:                                           
A       E 
Rolling Stone                                      
                                                   
   wanna see my picture on the cover  
   A                                              
   wanna buy five copies for my mother                                
   E                                              
   wanna see my smilin' face  
       D                    A                       
on the cover of the Rolling Stone                  
                                                  
 
 
A 
I've got a freaky old lady 
 
called my Cocain Katy 
                 E 
who embroiders on my jeans, 
 
I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy, 
E7              A 
drivin' my limousine 
 
Now it's all designed 
 
to blow our minds 
                               D 
but our minds won't really be blown, 
         E 
like the blow that'll get you 
 
when you get your picture 
                            A 
on the cover of the Rolling Stone 
 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
 
 A 
We got a lot of 
 
little teenage, blue-eyed groupies 
                    E 
who do anything we say, 
 
we got a genuine Indian guru, 
 E7                        A 
who's teachin' us a better way, 
 
we got all the friends 
 
that money can buy, 
                        D 
so we never have to be alone, 
       E 
and we keep gettin' richer 
 
but we can't get our picture 
                            A 
on the cover of the Rolling Stone
