I want the people to know that he saved my soul 
       A 
But I still like to listen to the radio 
         A 
They say rock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance 
           A 
I say, "I feel so good I've gotta get up and dance." 
D                                  A                         E 
I know what's right, I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it 
                                  D                         A     D      E  A     D 
All I'm really trying to say is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?" 
                  A            E                       D                    A 
I feel good every day, 'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away 
A                                 A 
They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane 
   A                        A 
I grew it out long to make room for my brain 
     A                    A 
But sometimes people don't understand 
                                           D 
What's a good boy doing in a rock-n-roll band 
                                  A 
There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks 
    E                                           D                         A       D    E A    D 
But if you've got a reason tell me to my face, "Why should the devil have all the good music?" 
                                   A            E                       D                 A  D 
There's nothing wrong with what I play, 'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away 
                             A                                  D 
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that has a beat 
                             A 
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that moves my feet 
E                                          D                  A 
I don't like none of those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet! 
A                          A 
Jesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way 
        A 
There's one more thing I'd like to say 
     A                                A 
They nailed him to the cross and they laid him in the ground 
          A                                               D 
But they should have known you can't keep a good man down 
                    A 
I feel good every day I don't want to lose it 
E                                  D                         A        D   E  A   D 
All I wanna, all I wanna know is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?" 
                          A 
I've been filled I feel okay 
E                        D 
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues 
E                        D 
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues 
E                        D                 A 
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
