American Rock And Roll Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Some [G]people call it the rhythm,
some [C]people call it the blues
[G]Some people call it a pain in the ear,
[C]some people call it bad news
Hey, if you [D]call me whatever you want to
Just whatever [Em]you [D]feel in your[C] soul
Whoa, whoa, it's just [G]that good old
Amer[D]ican rock [G]and roll
They took a holler from a
Mississippi cotton field
They took the [C]thunder from
Niagara
Falls
They took a [G]rattle from a
New
York subway train
And the [C]funky alligator crawls
Then you [D]find the beat of a bourbon train
In
De[G]troit [D]and it's [C]so low
And [G]it's just that good old
[D]American rock and [G]roll
Well, [C]hello, rock and roll
Tell me where [G]you've been
Oh, [C]buddy, sure we're good
Just to see you [G]again
When the mu[C]sic starts stealin'
with your [Bb]guitar screamin'
And the [C]back beat [Bb]takes [G]control
Well, it's just sad good [D]ol'
love and rock [G]and roll
Well, now, some people like it a little
And [C]some people like it a lot
Some [G]people like it kind
of mellow and cool
Some [C]people like it red hot
Some [D]people like it kind of rowdy and loud
So they [G]turn up [D]the radio
[C]It'[G]s just that
You don't [D]know where I'm
from or where I belong
[G][C][G]
[C][D][G][D][C][G][D]
[G]Well,
[C]hello rock and roll, tell me where you've [G]been
Oh, [C]buddy, it sure is good just
to see you [G]again
When the mu[C]sic starts stealin'
with your [Bb]guitar screamin'
And the [C]backbeat [Bb]takes control
Well, [G]it's just that good old
[D]American roc[G]k n' roll
Yeah, it's just that good old
[D]American roc[G]k n' roll
Oh -oh -oh!
[Bb]
