xROCK AND ROLL MUSIC
written and performed by Chuck Berry
A7
Just let me hear some of that...
[Chorus]
D
Rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
G
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
D
Any old time you use it
A7
It's gotta be rock and roll music
D
If you wanna dance with me
A7 D
If you wanna dance with me
[Verse 1]
A
I have no kick against modern jazz
A7 D
Unless you try to play it too darn fast
G
I lose the beauty of a melody
A7
Until it sounds just like a symphony
That's why I go for that...
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I took my love on over 'cross the tracks
So she could hear a man a-wailin' sax
I must admit they had a rockin' band
And they were blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Way down south they gave a jubilee
And Georgia folks, they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that...
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Don't get to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in no mood to take a mambo
It's way too early for the congo
So keep on rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that...
[Chorus]
