Now Roland the roadie was only a toadie 
who set up the lights and the mikes for the shows
And Gertrude the groupie was a rock and roll fan, 
who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows

(C)Roland the roadie met (F)Gertrude the groupie
at a (C)rock concert back in Ba(G)yonne,
he (C)tried to seduce her, (F)said he'd introduce her
to (G)all of the Beatles and (C)Stones.
 
So (C)Roland the roadie got (F)Gertrude the groupie
a (C)seat in the balcony (G)above,
and (C)Gertrude the groupie felt (F)grateful and groovy,
but (G)Roland the roadie felt (C)love.
 
And (G)some folks loves ham hocks and (F)some folks loves pork chops
and (C)some folks loves vegetable (G)soup.
And (G)Roland the roadie loves (F)Gertrude the groupie,
but (G)Gertrude the groupie loves (C)groups.

She (C)stood up and screamed as the (F)amber spot gleamed,
on her (C)heroes so skinny and (G)tall,
with their (C)eyelids so droopy, and (F)Gertrude the groupie,
she (G)was in love with them (C)all.
 
(C)Roland the roadie told (F)Gertrude the groupie
to (C)wait and he'd be her (G)man,
but (C)while he dreamed of a (F)rose covered home,
she was (G)out with the group in the (C)van.
 
(spoken : ) Hey Gertie, get out here, come on babe, come on out of there.... 
I know you're in there... The whole trailer's moving baby....
What about me....Gertie... Oh Gertie

Now (C)Roland the roadie is (F)back on the road,
his (C)heart has been broken (G)again
and (C)Gertrude the groupie (F)waits out in the cold
for the(G)very next group to come (C)in.
 
And (G)some folks loves ham hocks and (F)some folks loves pork chops
and (C)some folks loves vegetable (G)soup.
And (G)Roland the roadie loves (F)Gertrude the groupie,
but (G)Gertrude the groupie loves (C)groups.
                               
(C) groups.....(C) groups.....(C) groups......
