That is Rock and Roll
[Spoken Intro]
G
 In the beginning there was nothing but rock,
Em
 Then somebody invented the wheel
C
 And things just began to roll


[Verse]
        G                      Em                    C
 Did you ever hear a tenor sax, swingin' like a rusty axe
               A7         G                A7                     D
 Honkin' like a frog, down in a hollow log, baby, that is rock and roll
       G                          B7                      C
 Did you ever hear a guitar twang, Jingy - jingy - jingy - jang
C               A7      G           E       A7            D        G
 Ever hear those strings doin' crazy things, baby, that is rock and roll


[Chorus]
C                                                                         G
 That ain't no freight train that you hear rollin' down the railroad tracks
         A7                                                   D
 That's a country boy piano man, Playin' in between the cracks
    G                                       B7                   C
 You say that music's for the birds, and you can't understand the words
                  A7         G               Em
 But honey, if you did, you'd really blow your lid
       A7            D        G
 'Cause baby, that is rock and roll


[Sax lead]


[Chorus]
 C                                                                        G
 That ain't no freight train that you hear rollin' down the railroad tracks
         A7                                                   D
 That's a country boy piano man, Playin' in between the cracks
    G                                       B7                   C
 You say that music's for the birds, and you can't understand the words
                  A7         G               Em
 But honey, if you did, you'd really blow your lid


[Tag]
       A7            D        G           E
 'Cause baby, that is rock and roll in the morning,
A7           D        G            E
 baby that is rock and roll, in the evening,
A7           D        G
 baby that is rock and roll
