All credit on this one to WayneXG95.
I have just tidied up his version and corrected some lyrics.
WayneXG95 had the right chords but it needs a capo on the first fret.

Kevin Johnson

Intro  C  Strummed/Picked Slowly (Capo 1)

Verse 1

C F G7I can still remember when I brought my first guitar
C F G7Remember just how good the feeling was put it proudly in my car
C A7 DmAnd my family listened fifty times to my two song repertoire
F G7 CAnd I told my mom her only son was gonna be a star
F GBrought all the Beatles records sounded just like Paul
C F G7Brought all the old Chuck Berry's seventy eights and all
C A7 DmAnd I sat by my record player playing every note they played
F G7 CAnd I watched them all on TV making every move they made
Chorus
C FRock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
G7 F CAll the dreamy sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights
C FI was so busy in the backroom writing love songs to you
G7 F CWhile you were changing your direction and you never even knew
G7That I was always just one step behind you
Verse 2
C F G7'66 seemed like the year I was really going somewhere
C F G7We were living in San Francisco with flowers in our hair
C A7 DmSinging songs of kindness so the world would understand
F G7 That the guy's and me were something more than just another band
C F GAnd then '69 in LA came around so soon
C F GWe were really making head way writing lots of tunes
C A7 DmAnd we must have played the wildest stuff we had ever played
F G7 CAnd the crowds cried out for us well we thought we had it made
Chorus 2
C FRock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
G7 F CAll the crazey lazy young days all the magic moonlit nights
C FI was so busy on the road singing love songs to you
G7 F CWhile you were changing your direction and you never even knew
G7That I was always just one step behind you
Do Do Do etc ( C F G7 C x2) Verse 3
C F G7'71 in Soho when I saw Suzanne
C F G7I was trying to go it solo with someone else's band
C A7 DmAnd she came up to me later and took her by the hand
F G7 And I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand
C F GAnd she followed me through London through a hundred hotel rooms
C F GThrough a hundred record companies who didn't like my tunes
C A7 DmAnd she followed me when finally I sold my old guitar
F G7 CAnd she tried to help me understand I'd never be a star
Chorus 3
C FRock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
G7 F CAll the dreamy sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights
C F And though I never knew the magic of making it with you
G7 F CI thank the lord for giving me the little bit I knew
G7 CAnd I will always be one step behind you
C FRock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
G7 F CSinging out my love songs on a bright lit magic night
C FAnd though I never knew the magic of making it with you
G7 F CI thank the lord for giving me the little bit I knew
C FRock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
G7 F CAll the dreamy sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights
C F I was so busy in the backroom writing love songs for you
G7 F CWhile you were changing your direction and you never even knew
