 E                        A
 Wind tearin' through the backstreet
 E                       A
 I hear the rhythm of my heart beat
 E                 A
 Rain blowin' to my face
 E                         F#m        D A
 I'm tired of being in the wrong place.

 E                    A
 Blues knockin' on my back door
 E                     A
 I can't jump from the second floor,
 E                 A
 Turn up the radio higher and higher
 E                          A
 Rock and roll music set my ears on fire.

            D/A   A              G         D         A

 E                   A
 Laid off work and I can't be free
 E                         A
 I need some rock 'n' roll therapy.
 E                A
 Put on a 45 and let the needle ride
 E                         A
 Jukebox jumps and I'll be satisfied.

            D/A   A              G         D         A

 F#m                             D
 Oh, let me ride on your mystery train

 Ride through the night in the pourin' rain.
 Csus4               C     Dsus4             D           E

[Notes:]

The main 2 chord motif in this song (D/A to A, you know
the first 2 chords of the song, or every place that 
Lonesome Dave sings the words "stone blue") is clearly 
identified.  But, throughout the rest of the song the
A chord is rarely if ever played without rocking back 
and forth to that D/A chord.  Same with the E chord in 
the verses.  

Also, I have tabbed what is probably Dave's part.  I can
hear some higher notes in some of the chords, which are 
probably Rod's parts.  If you have a 2nd guitarist, try
the following alternatives to some of the chords:

   D/A  A   D
E|--5---5--10--|
B|--3---2-- 7--|
G|--2---2-- 7--|
D|--4---2-- 0--|
A|--0---0-- ---|
E|--------- ---|
