Rock N Roll Music

ROCK 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)
