Em                        A

VERSE 2

G                 Am
did you write the book of love
     C
and do you have faith in the god above
Em              D
if the bible tells you so
G             D         Am
oh now do you belive in rock and roll
C
can music save your mortal soul
    Em               A7           D
and can you teach me how to dance real slow
       Em                D
well i know that your in love with him
        Em               D
cause i saw you dancing in the gym
C        G               A7
you both kicked off your shoes
      C                  D7
and i dig those rhythmic blues
        C      G       D
i was i lonely teenage bronken buck 
       Em                   Am
with a pink carnation and a pick up truck
      D
but i knew a was out of luck
    C

    D7
the music
G
died
