Verse 1:

G               Em      C  D

Our last day of summer, 1979

      Bm                              Em

Gotta live it up one time before it's over

C                      D

We will make history tonight

G          Em

Out at the drive-in

C                                         D

All of our closest friends, they will be sneaking in

Bm                     Em

You'll be spending the whole night

C                           D

Trying eveything you can to get that girl to notice you





Chorus:

Em            C          D                  G      D/F#

  "We Are the Champions" playing out on the radio station

Em         C                     D

  Everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation

Em                C                  D                  G              D/F#

  Cruisin' down Pacific Coast Highway Put the top down, crawl into the backseat

Em             C              D

  Let's create anthems of our own tonight





Verse 2:

G           Em

Down at the roller rink,

        C                                       D

All the cool kids crowded around the air hockey table

 Bm                  Em

"Hey, my best friend likes you,"

  C                 D

I hear you shout at me as you go skating by





(Repeat Chorus)





Bridge:

C                   D

  Sneak out of your window, darlin'

G                 Em

  Let's live like outlaws, honey

C                  D

  We'll never look back





Verse 3:

G                   Em           C                         D

  Climb out on this rooftop And stare at the city lights below us

     B                Em             C                     D

This world belongs to us tonight The kids will keep ragin' on-

And they ain't never gonna stop
