[Verse]

C#   D
    The warden threw a party in the county jail
C#   D
    The prisonband was there and they began to wail
C#   D
    The joint was jumping and the place began to swing
C#   D
    You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing


[Chorus]

G
Let's rock
                D
Everybody let's rock
     A                      G
Everybody on the whole cell block
         D
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock


[Verse]

C#   D
    Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
C#   D
    Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
C#   D
    The drummerboy from Illinois went crash boom bang
C#   D
    The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang


[Chorus]

G
Let's rock
                D
Everybody let's rock
     A                      G
Everybody on the whole cell block
         D
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock


[Verse]

D
Well number 47 said to number 3
D
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
D
I sure'll be delighted with your company
D
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me


[Chorus]

G
Let's rock
                D
Everybody let's rock
     A                      G
Everybody on the whole cell block
         D
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

[Verse]

C#   D
    Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone
C#   D
    Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
C#   D
    The warden said Hey buddy don't you be no square
C#   D
    If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair


[Chorus]

G
Let's rock
                D
Everybody let's rock
     A                      G
Everybody on the whole cell block
         D
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
