Rock 'n' 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

3. 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)
