A5                      A5
I want the people to know that he saved my soul
       A5
But I still like to listen to the radio
         A5
They say rock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance
           A5
I say, "I feel so good I've gotta get up and dance."
D5                                  A5                         E5
I know what's right, I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it
                                  D5                         A5     D5      E5  A5     D5
All I'm really trying to say is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
                  A5            E5                       D5                    A5
I feel good every day, 'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
A5                                 A5
They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane
   A5                        A5
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
     A5                    A5
But sometimes people don't understand
                                           D5
What's a good boy doing in a rock-n-roll band
                                  A5
There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
    E5                                           D5                         A5       D5    E5 A5    D5
But if you've got a reason tell me to my face, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
                                   A5            E5                       D5                 A5  D5
There's nothing wrong with what I play, 'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
                             A5                                  D5
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that has a beat
                             A5
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that moves my feet
E5                                          D5                  A5
I don't like none of those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet!
A5                          A5
Jesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way
        A5
There's one more thing I'd like to say
     A5                                A5
They nailed him to the cross and they laid him in the ground
          A5                                               D5
But they should have known you can't keep a good man down
                    A5
I feel good every day I don't want to lose it
E5                                  D5                         A5        D5   E5  A5   D5
All I wanna, all I wanna know is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
                          A5
I've been filled I feel okay
E5                        D5
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
E5                        D5
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
E5                        D5                 A5
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
