Rock and roll music
Chuck Berry – Beatles: Beatles for Sale (1964)
Intro: E7 (¯¯¯¯)
A7
To me that a modern
rock and roll music
Any old way you choose
it
D7
It’s got a back beat
you can’t lose it
A7
Any old time you use
it
E7
It’s got to be rock
and roll music
A
If you want to dance
with me
E7 A
If you want to dance
with me
E7
I got no kick against
modern jazz
A7
Unless it’s out and
played on too darn fast
D7
I lose the beauty of
the melody
E7
Until it sounded like
a symphony
A7
That’s why I go with
that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose
it
It’s got a back beat
you can’t lose it
Any old time you use
it
It’s got to be rock and
roll music
If you want to dance
with me,
If you want to dance
with me.
I took my love one
over across the tracks
Where she could have
been man, a wail of a sax
I must admit they had
a rockin’ band
Man, they were going
like a hurricane
That’s why I go by
that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose
it
It’s got a back beat
you can’t lose it
Any old time you use
it
It’s got to be rock
and roll music
If you want to dance
with me,
If you want to dance
with me.
Way down south they
had a jubilee
They go to vote to
have a janboree
They took it home a
wooden cup
The folks that dancing
where all shook up
That’s how great that
rock and roll music.
Any old way you choose
it
It’s got a back beat
you can’t lose it
Any old time you use
it
It’s got to be rock and
roll music
If you want to dance
with me
If you want to dance
with me
Go get to hear them
play a tango
And in the mood they
take a mambo
If it’s what to you
want a congo
So give a rock and
roll beat I know
That’s why I go for
rock and roll music
Any old way you choose
it
It’s got a back beat
you can’t lose it
Any old time you use
it
It’s got to be rock
and roll music
If you want to dance
with me
If you want to dance
with me
