[Verse]

F#m                               D A E
What happened to the youth of the U S A

Can you help me understand
F#m                                D  A E             D       E
You used to be the model of non-conformity – Now it’s all the same, oh
F#m                D          E
They’ve got you playin’ their game – But it don’t really matter
F#m            D      E                 C#
All for the money and fame – You gotta’ take it back


[Chorus]

         F#m                               D                   E
From the west coast waters to the New York streets – I hear it calling me
         F#m                        D
For the sons and daughters – Of the wild and free
        E             D E
Can you feel the beat – Rock is all you need

[Verse 2]

F#m                               D A E
Somebody pulled the plug ‘round 199   3 – And it’s never been the same
F#m                                D A E           D       E
Trash corporate radio – Soap opera M T V – You can do much better
F#m                 D       E
Don’t let them make up your mind – Like the millions of others
F#m                  D       E                 C#
Stand up, don’t fall back in line – You gotta’ take it back


[Chorus 2]

         F#m                               D                   E
From the west coast waters to the New York streets – I hear it calling me
         F#m                        D
For the sons and daughters – Of the wild and free
        E             D E
Can you feel the beat – Rock is all you need

         F#m                       D             E
From the Texas border ‘cross the USA – I hear it calling me
        F#m                          D                       E        D E
All the sons and daughters – All you wild and free – Can you still believe


[Chorus 3]

         F#m                               D                   E
From the west coast waters to the New York streets – I hear it calling me
