Lyrics
27 years of rock
|C |D |
That is when the clock will stop
|Am |Em |C |D |
For those who rock but don't age
|Am |Em |
The legacy of Brian Jones
|C |D |
How he passed still no-one knows
|Am |Em |C |D |
The curse of 27 strikes again
{Interlude} - Chords played in bar chords
{Chorus} Chord shapes
|Am |Em | Am Em C D
Your 27 you're in heaven
|C |D |
You're a dead rockstar
{Verse 2}
Jimmy James and his blue flames
By 70 those flames burnt out
The lizard king was found in a bath
Kurt Cobain kissed the barrel
And Janis Joplin drank the bottle
The curse of 27's gonna last
