 I dreamed I was in teenage heaven 
C      F            G            C 
 I saw all the stars in teenage heaven 


            F 
There was a golden door 
       G 
With a golden star 
    C           Am 
And I walked on through 
    D 
And there were all the 
                 G 
Teenage stars we knew

Into the golden mic

With his laughing face said 
G 
 You know what I like 


       F 
On the movie scene 
     G 
I saw James Dean 
    C             Am 
Well, what can I say 
        D 
Then an angel led me 

Through the door marked 
  G 
A hundred years from today 


         C 
There was Ricky Nelson

 And all the stars then

Gathered round

 And the Fleetwoods sang Mr. Blue 


    F                    G 
And there was Elvis in a suit of gold 
        C            Am 
Singing at his very best 
D 
Love Me Tender, Don't Be Cruel 
    G 
And you know all the rest

And as I left teenage heaven 
  F                  G 
Duane played his guitar 
C                E 
 And I heard them call the roll

And the names were teenage stars
