The Coasters - That Is Rock & Roll chords
Start Jamming...
In the beginning there were nothing but rock [G#m] then somebody
invented the wheel [E]
and
[B] things just began to [F#] groove
Did you ever hear a tenor sax
[D#] Swinging [Gm] like a rusty [E] axe
Harking [F] like a frog [G#m] down in a hollow log
[C#] Baby, [F] that is rock [F#] and roll
[Bm] Did you [B] ever hear a guitar sway
[Gm] Jingy, jingy, jingy, [E] jang
Did you ever hear [Fm] those strings
[B] Doing [G#] crazy things
[C#] Baby, that [F#]
is rock [B] and roll
[E] That ain't no great thing that you hear
[F#] Rolling down the railroad [B] tracks
As [C#] the country folks be out of air
[F#] Playing in between the cracks
[B] You say that music's for the birds
But it's not for the birds
[D#] You can't understand [E] the words
But if [Fm] you did
[B] You'd really [G#] blow your lid
[C#] Baby, [F#] that is rock [B] and roll

Rolling [B] down the railroad tracks
As [C#] the country folks be out [G#m] of air
[F#] Playing in between the cracks
[B] You say that music's for the birds
You say that music's for the birds
[D#] And you can't understand the [E] words
Well, honey, if you did
[B] You'd really blow [G#] your lid
[F#] Baby, that is [B] rock and roll
In [G] the morning
Baby, [F] that is rock and roll
[G#] In the evening
Baby, [F#] that is [B] rock and roll
