Start Jamming...
I want the people [Gm] to know that he saved [E] my soul, but I still like to listen to the radio.
They say rock [Bm] and roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance.
[F#] They say it feels so good, I gotta get up and dance.
I know what's right, I know [A] what's wrong.
I don't feel guilty.
[E] All I'm really trying to say is why should the devil have all the good [F#] music?
And I feel good [A] every day, [B] because Jesus is a rock [A] and he rolled my blues [E] away.
They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane.
I threw it out long to make room for my brain.
But sometimes people don't understand what's a good boy [Fm] doing in a rock and roll [F#] band.
There's nothing wrong [A] with playing blues, man.
[E] Well if you got a reason, tell me to my face.
Why should the [F] devil have all the good [F#] music?
There's nothing wrong with what [A] I play.
[B] Jesus is a rock [A] and he rolled my blues [E] away.
[F#]
[A] [F#]
[A] [F#] I ain't knocking to him, [A] just give me a song to hold my feet.
[F#] I ain't knocking to him, just give [A] me a song to move my feet.
[B] I don't like none of those funeral marches.
I'm dead, yeah.
[E]
Why?

[E] [B] [A]
[E] Jesus told the truth and Jesus showed the way.
There's one more thing I'd like to say.
They nailed me to the cross and they laid him in the ground.
But you should have known you can't keep a good man down.
[F#]
Every [A] day, I don't want to lose it.
[E]
Music, [F#] it fills our feelings.
[A] [B] Jesus is a rock and [A] he rolled my blues.
[B] Jesus is a rock and he [A] rolled my blues.
