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!
