[ Roll Over Beethoven von Chuck Berry ]



E
I'm gonna write a little letter,
E
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
       A
It's a rockin' rhythm record
                    E
I want my jockey to play.
     B                                       E
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.


E
You know, my temperature's risin'
E
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
       A
My heart's beatin' rhythm
                                  E
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues.
     B                                       E
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.


E
I got the rockin' pneumonia,
E
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
       A
I think I'm rollin' arthritis
                             E
Sittin' down by the rhythm review.
     B                             E
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.


Bridge:
E
Well, if you feel you like it
E
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
E                A
Roll it over and move on up just
A                    E
A trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over,
E    B
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.


E
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
E
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
       A
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle,
                    E
Ain't got nothin' to lose.
     B                                       E
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.


E
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
E
Dance like a spinnin' top.
       A
She got a crazy partner,
                    E
Oughta see 'em reel and rock.
     B                                       E
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop.


E
Roll over Beethoven,
E
Roll over Beethoven, 
       A
Roll over Beethoven,
               E
Roll over Beethoven,
     B                                       E
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.
