                            G
Up in the mornin' and off to school
                       G
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
                               C
American hist'ry and practical math
                                G
You're studyin' hard, hopin' to pass
                                       D
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
C7                                      G
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone


                    G
Ring ring, goes the bell
                       G
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
                               C
You're lucky if you can find a seat
                                G
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
                              D
Back in the classroom , open your books
C7                                      G
Bet the teacher don't know how mean she looks


                       G
Soon as 3:00 rolls around
                       G
You finally lay your burden down
                               C
Close up your books, get out of your seat
                                G
Down the halls and into the street
                                 D
Up through the corner and round the bend
C7                          G
Right to the juke joint you go in


                       G
Drop the coin right into the slot
                       G
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
                               C
With the one you love you're makin' romance
                                G
All day long you've been wantin' to dance
                               D
Feelin' the music from head to toe
C7                        G
Round and round and round you go

                       G
Drop the coin right into the slot
                       G
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
                               C
With the one you love you're makin' romance
                                G
All day long you've been wantin' to dance
                               D
Feelin' the music from head to toe
C7                        G
Round and round and round you go


                       G
Hail, hail, rock 'n' roll!
                       G
Deliver me from the days of old
                   C
Long live rock 'n' roll
                                G
The beat of the drums loud and bold
                  D
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll
C7                            G
The feelin' is there, body and soul
