[Verse 1]

G             D  C            D      
 He plays guitar at a hotel bar
G            D  Em           C
For out-of-towners and businessmen
G                 D          C         D
 He struts and sings to his drum machine
        G             D            C    G
But he won't make it big at the Holiday Inn
D                        C          G
  But she thinks that he looks like Elvis 
         C          G                 D              
When he runs his fingers through that jet black hair
C D                       C      G
    And sometimes she forgets an order 
              C        G               D
'Cause she's so struck by him that she stops and stares


[Chorus]

G           D     C            D
They got a love bigger than the Beatles
G         D             Em          C
 Wild and free like the Rollin' Stones
G              D          C            D 
They got a love takes 'em higher than the Eagles
G     D           C
Ain't life such a sweet, sweet song
G       D       C        D
Na na na na na, na na na na na
G      D    C        G
Na na na, yeah yeah yeah


[Verse 2]

G              D      C             D
She pours some drinks, loads up the sinks
G            D  Em           C
And dreams of bein' a movie star
G          D  C                D
Her mama said she'd knock 'em dead
G        D            C        G
But Hollywood hasn't called so far
D                        C           G
But he thinks that she's pretty as a picture
         C          G                 D       
When she wipes down tables in her apron strings
C D                       C       G
    And sometimes he forgets the chorus
              C              G             D
'Cause she's shinin' like a beauty on the silver screen


[Chorus]

G           D     C            D
They got a love bigger than the Beatles
G         D             Em          C
 Wild and free like the Rollin' Stones
G              D          C            D 
They got a love takes 'em higher than the Eagles
G     D           C
Ain't life such a sweet, sweet song
G       D       C        D
Na na na na na, na na na na na
G      D    C    G
Na na na, yeah yeah yeah


[Breakdown]

        Em                            C
No you won't find their names on the walk of fame
     G                  D
But they ain't missin' much
                  Em               C
'Cause when the lights go down on tinsel town
 G               D
All you need is love

[Chorus]

G           D     C            D
They got a love bigger than the Beatles
G         D             Em          C
 Wild and free like the Rollin' Stones
G              D          C            D 
They got a love takes 'em higher than the Eagles
G     D           C
Ain't life such a sweet, sweet song
G       D       C        D
 Na na na na na, na na na na na
G      D    C       G
Na na na, yeah-yeah yeah
G       D       C        D
 Na na na na na, na na na na na
G      D    C       G
Na na na, yeah-yeah yeah
