A5 
Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock'n'roll 
                                    E5 
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul 
            D5                              A5 
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe 
                             E5            A5 
She said whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 

A5 
She loves that rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long 
                                    E5 
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone 
            D5                              A5 
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet 
                             E5            A5 
She says whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 
Chorus: 
A5                  D5 
Oh let those guitars play 
            A5 
Play for me play for me 
                  D5 
Oh let that song ring out 
      E5            E5 
That's how it's meant to be 
 

A5 
It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track 
                                    E5 
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back 
            D5                                          A5 
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street 
                                     E5            A5 
She said whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 

A5                  D5 
Oh let those guitars play 
            A5 
Play for me play for me 
                  D5 
Oh let that song ring out 
      E5            E5 
That's how it's meant to be 
 

A5 
When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio 
                                    E5 
She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna do is rock'n'roll 
            D5                                          A5 
Now here I'm gonna stay when that music starts to play 
                                     E5            A5 
She says whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king
