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) Enjoy!
