Had a good time, time we was movin' on A-x
E-x
Guys like us are happy
Every place we go
We never stay long, no,
That's the rule of the open road
We don't like it
We don't take it
We simply leave it there
When we can't impress anymore
We pick it up and leave you there
CHORUS:
I hope everybody here is really feeling fine
Speakin' for myself and the band

When we come back next time
D
Think how happy we'll be
G.......
Now the right one is turning
The wheels are in the well
Whether we're remembered, only time'll tell
It's a crazy business, making people sing and dance
But we don't even think about it
We step up, we take a chance
I hope everybody here is really feeling fine
Speakin' for myself and the band
We've had a hell of a time
We laughed and cried and we carried on
Everybody sang a sing-along
Had a good time, time we was movin' on
Movin' on
Movin' on baby now
Movin' on yeah ***********> this end section is all on G
