ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC
Written and performed by Chuck Berry
Tab transcribed by Collins Crapo
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)
