Rock AND roll music    (intro)    (Listen to sample)

 

D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Just let me hear some of that...

   D

Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it

                G                                          D

it's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it.

        A                                         A7                                     D

It's gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me.

A                    A7               D

If you wanna dance with me.

 

            - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A

1. I have no kick against modern jazz,

                                        D

unless you try to play it too darn fast,

                                                G

and change the beauty of a melody.

                                          A

until it sounds just like a symphony.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

That's why I go for that    + CHORUS

 

           - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A

2. I took my love on over 'cross the tracks,

                                              D

so she could hear a man a-wailin' sax,

                                        G

I must admit they had a rockin' band,

                                                 A

man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

That's why I go for that    + CHORUS

 

          - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A

3. Way down south they gave a jubilee,

                                                 D

and Georgia folks, they had a jamboree.

                                                          G

They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup,

                                  A

the folks dancin' got all shook up.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

And started playin' that    + CHORUS

 

        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A

4. Don't get to hear 'em play a tango,

                                           D

I'm in no mood to take a mambo,

                                         G

it's way too early for the congo,

                                       A

so keep on rockin' that piano.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

So I can hear some of that + CHORUS

 

(capo 1st)    (Chuck Berry)
