G#

[Verse 1]
N.C.
Well, I was sixteen and sick of school,
N.C.
I didn't know what I wanted to do.
N.C.
I bought a guitar, I got the fever..that's

rock 'n' roll.

(BJA begins shuffle here)
            G#                 D#
I played at parties, played in bars, I spent
   G#               C#
my money buyin' blue guitars.
              G#                  C#       D#
I screamed my heart out but how I loved it..that's
               G#   D# (x6)
rock 'n' roll.

[Chorus]
G#                          C#           D#
Well, come on everybody get down and get with it.
G#                    C#           D#

G#                    C#           D#       G# (blues 6th shuffle)* D (x6)
Come on everybody get down, that's rock 'n' roll.

[Verse 2]
          G#                 D#
It's when smoking up and the heat have got your
G#                            C#
heart pounding right with the beat.
             G#                 C#       D#
Don't try to fight it, just get excited, that's
         G#   D#
rock 'n' roll.
