My Ding-A-Ling Chords by Chuck Berry

_ _ _ _ _ _ We got to do our alma mater, we must do our alma mater.
When I was a [Ab] little bitty [G] boy, my grandmother [Bb] [Eb] bought me a cute little toy.
_ Silver [Ab] bells hanging on a string, [Bb] she told me it [Eb] was my ding-a-ling-a-ling-o. _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ Ding-a [Bb]-ling! _ _ _
[Eb] _ Ding-a-ling!
_ Ding-a-ling!
_ _ _ Ding [B]-a-ling!
Ding-a _ _
[Eb] _ -ling!
Beautiful, _ beautiful, beautiful.
_ _ And then mama [Ab] took me to grammar school, [F] but I stopped [Eb] off in the Vesta View.
_ Every [Ab] time that bell would ring, [Bb] _ catch [Eb] me playing with my ding-a-ling-a-ling-o.
_ Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ Ding-a-ling!
_ Ding-a-ling!
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[G] _ Ding-a-ling!
Oh, that [Bb] is beautiful.
[Gb] You know what I heard?
I heard two [Bb] girls over here singing in harmony.
That's alright, honey.
[E] This is a free country.
Live like you want to [Eb] live, baby.
Yeah.
Ain't nobody gonna knock it, darling.
Mm-mm.
Yeah, freedom.
_ [Gm]
Yes, sir.
There's one guy right over [Eb] here singing Maya, too.
That's alright, brother.
Yes, sir.
You got it right, baby.
Ain't nobody gonna bother you.
_ _ _ _ Once I was [F]
climbing the garden wall.
I slipped and had [Eb] a terrible _ fall.
I fell so [Ab] hard I heard bells ring, [Bb] but held on to [Eb] my ding-a-ling-a-ling-o.
_ Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] _ Ding-a-ling!
[Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ Ding-a-ling!
_ Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] _ Ding-a-ling!
[Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [A] You know that's future [Eb] parliament out there singing? _ _ _ _
Oh, yeah!
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] Once I was swimming across [Ab] Turtle Creek.
[G] Man, them snappers [Eb] all around my feet.
_ Sure was [Ab] hard swimming across that thing [Bb] with both hands holding [Eb] my feet.
_ _ _ Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ Ding-a-ling!
_ Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] _ Ding-a-ling!
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That's so [Db] beautiful.
I think it's a beautiful [Eb] little song.
Really, I do.
And guess what?
Everybody's still not singing.
There's a few right down front here that's not singing.
We're gonna dedicate this verse to those who will not sing.
Yes, sir.
Mmm, this here song, [Ab] it ain't so sad.
[Bb] The cutest little [Eb] song you ever had.
_ Those of you [Ab] who will not [F] sing, you must be [Eb] playing with your own ding-a-ling.
Ding-a [Ab]-ling!
Ding-a [Bb]-ling! _ _ _
[Eb] _ Ding-a-ling!
Oh, _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ your ding-a-ling, [Abm] your [F] ding-a-ling, we saw you playing [Eb] with your own _ ding-a-ling.
[Ab] _ Everybody sing, [F] I want to play [Eb] with my ding-a-ling.
Everybody, my, _ [Ab] oh my, ding-a-ling.
[Bb] Slow down.
I _ _ play everybody with _ my ding-a [Eb]-ling. _ _ _ _
