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
