Verse 
 
         A                  D5 
I got my daddys car and his old guitar 
A                      D5 
    A suitcase full of broken hearts 
       A                    D5 
Got my mommas smile and her baby blue eyes 
A                        D5 
    I aint got much, but what I got's mine 
      A           D5 
And I roll like I roll 
  A           D5 
I roll like I roll 
         A                 D5 
I got an   open road and a restless soul 
A                             D5 
    The Rolling Stones on the radio 
      A           D5 
And I roll like I roll 
        F#m         D 
Cause I roll like I roll 
 
 
 
  A                             E 
I roll like the hills under the California sun 
F#m                            D 
Burn through the desert like a devil on the run 
A                            E 
Ill be flying high until the day that I die 
   F#m    E         D 
No matter what they say 
       F#m E      D 
At the end of the day 
       A           D5            A     D5 
I will roll like I roll 
 
Verse 
 
              A                         D5 
Well theres a lot a people gonna try to bring you down 
         A                                D5 
They got a lot of rules they gonna try to put you out 
A                          D5 
I keep  looking up in this world full of doubt 
  F#m         D 
I roll like I roll 
 
 
 
  A                             E 
I roll like the hills under the California sun 
F#m                            D 
Burn through the desert like a devil on the run 
A                            E 
Ill be flying high until the day that I die 
   F#m    E         D 
No matter what they say 
       F#m E      D 
At the end of the day 
 
Bridge: 
 
E              F#m         D 
  Im not gonna let it slip away 
E                F#m                  D 
  Cause I rather burn in hell than to let it fade 
 
Verse 
 
         A                 D5 
I got an   open road and a restless soul 
A                            D5 
    Some George Jones on the radio 
    F#m         D 
And I roll like I roll 
 
 
  A                            E 
I roll through the hills of my own Kentucky home 
F#m                     D 
Back to the place where my heart belongs 
A                            E 
Ill be flying high until the day that I die 
   F#m    E         D 
No matter what they say 
  F#m    E      D 
I begin another day 
F#m      E  D 
I did it my way!  
 
Outro:  A  D5 (4x) E
