This is the chord progression of Rolling Stones by The Vaccines on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
Am F C E
Am F C E

[Verse]
Am          F
When your mouth is as big as the Rolling Stones
C          E
And your self-control, relative unknown
Am       F
And you can cut holes into everyone
C          E
Or you can just shoot hoops through the summer sun

[Chorus 1]
Am    F    G
I know you paid for the room with a view
Am F G
But got one that pointed at you
Am    F    G
So when you skip to the front of the queue
Am F    G
You can tell them that this one’s for you
F    F G
Yeah, tell them that this one’s for you

[Instrumental]
Am F C E
Am F C E

[Verse 2]
Am       F
I know people think your mind is a ski resort
C       E
But the art of deception is a contact sport
Am          F
So if you wanna make amends then you make a list
C          E
You don’t draw blanks on the back of your fist

[Chorus 2]
Am
In the restaurant at the top of your ivory tower
F          G
Where the ropes stop turning just to save our power
Am       C
But if you ask her politely you know
Am       G
That I can’t get my knife up at first
Am       C
Then the world might revolve around her’s
Am       G
Yeah, the world should revolve around her’s

[Refrain]
Am F G
And if there’s no reservation for two
Am F G
But the hostess is someone you knew
Am F G
Then skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
And tell them that this one’s for you
G F G
Go tell them that this one’s for you

[Instrumental]
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G

[Outro]
Am    F    G
But when I float to the top I tried a lucky guess
Am    F G
But I only go fishing for negative press
Am    F    G
Cause I’ve been to the bottom and the bottom is free
Am F G
But the easy way out ain’t tailor-made
Am    F G
And I’ve been to the bottom with you
Am F    G
But we just do what we want to do
Am F    G
So let’s skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
And tell them that this one’s for you
Am F    G
We’ll tell them that this one’s for you.
