Verse 1
*******
E-0-0-4-4-7--0-0-4-4-7---
I've got no kick against modern jazz

A-0-0-4-4-7--0-0-4-4-7---
Unless they try to play it too darn fast

D-0-0-4-4-7--0-0-4-4-7---
And change the beauty of the melody

E-0-0-4-4-7-
Until they sound just like a symphony

Chorus (sames as previous)
******
That's why I go for 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
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

Verse 2 (same as previous)
*******
I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man await a sax
I must admit they have a rocking band
Man they were going like a hurricane

Chorus (same as previous)
******
And started playing 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
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

Verse 3 (same as previous)
*******
Way down South they gave a jubilee
The jockey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinking homebrew from a water cup
The folks dancing got all shook up

E-2b4----

Chorus (same as previous)
*******
And started playing 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
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

Verse 4 (same as previous)
*******
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano

E--0h2p0---

Chorus (same as previous)
*******
And started playing 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
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
