VERSE:
I’ve been away so long I hardly knew the place
A
It’s been too long since I’ve been around
Just like I rolling stone I ain’t go no home
(Repeat the RIFF2)
But my boys are back in town
It’s been two long years that I’ve been on the run
A
From lawyers, lovers, monies and a lawman’s son
You though tit was the last you heard from me
D
Well you better back up to catch up with me
E
‘Cause I’m livin’ in the fast, speeding like a steam train
Just before I fall, just before I fall off the track
Chorus:
A G D G
Taking it back
A G D G
I’m taking it back
A G D
Taking it back
E
You took it away, took it away
D (repeat riff2)
All I can say is we’re taking it back
VERSE:
A
I’m the same old dog that I used to be
The word’s all over town that you’ve been looking for me
I’m no different that I was before
Give you what you need and then I’m out the door
D
‘Cause I’m livin’ in the fast lane, coming like a hurricane
E
А snake without a rattle, baby that’s a matter of fact
Chorus:
A G D G
Taking it back
A G D G
I’m taking it back
A G D
Taking it back
E
You took it away, took it away
D (repeat riff2)
All I can say is we’re taking it back
SOLO: B D B E
VERSE: (repeat the riff2)
I’ve been away so long it’s good to see your face
Barkeep, won’t you buy me a round?
Raise a glass to the good times past
Then we’ll tear this damn place down
Chorus:
A G D G
Taking it back
A G D G
Taking it back
A G D G
Taking it back
