(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)

(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
