[Intro 1]
[G][G]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Well
[G]Listen everybody,
let me tell you 'bout the rock n' roll
Ohhh, feel that rhythm
and it's really gonna thrill your [D]soul
Mmmm, [C]come along with me,
to a [G]land of make-believe
She said, "Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."

[Verse 2]
She loves that [G]rock'n'roll,
and she plays it all night long
Awww, that's all she ever tells me
when I call her on the tele[D]phone
She says, [C]"Feel that jumpin' beat,
and a-[G]get up on your feet."
She says, "Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."

[Bridge 1]
Oh let those [C]guitars [G]play
Play for [D]me, play for [G]me
Oh let that [C]song ring [G]out
That's [A]how it's meant to [D]be

[Verse 3]
Well, it [G]rolls like a train
that's a comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven,
and she gave Tchaikovsky [D]back
Awww, she [C]loves that drivin' beat,
she goes [G]dancin' on down the street
She said, "Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."

[Solo 1]
Aww, rock on!
[G][G][G][G]
[C][C][G][G]
[C][C][G][Em]
[G][D][G][G]

[Bridge 2]
Oh let those [C]guitars [G]play
Play for [D]me, play for [G]me
Oh let that [C]song ring [G]out
That's [A]how it's meant to [D]be

[Verse 4]
Well, [G]when she comes around
and I'm a listenin' to the radio
She says, "You can't do that,
cause all I wanna do is rock'n'[D]roll
"Now [C]here I'm gonna stay,
when that [G]music starts to play."
She says, "Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."

[Outro 1]
Aww, yeah, [G]"Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."
Uh-huh, [G]"Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."
Oooh, yeah, [G]"Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."
She said, [G]"Whamalamabamalama,
[D]rock'n'roll is [G]king."[C][D][G]
