(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
A 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
        A  G  D  G  
Taking it back
G  G#  A   G  G#  A
