[Intro] G  C  D  C  G

         G
She was just sixteen and all alone
Am
When I came to be
   D
So we grew up together
C                 G
My mama child and me

Now things were bad and she was scared
       C
But whenever I would cry
      D
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
       C                   G
With a rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing

G                                   Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na it'll be alright
C                    D                  G
Sha na na na na na na na na na now just hold on tight

(Sing it to me mama ma ma ma ma ma)
 G                                   Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na it'll be alright
          C                  D
Sing it sweet and clear, oh Mama let me hear that old
 C                 G
Rock and roll lullaby

[Solo] G  Am  C  D  C  G

    G
We made it through the lonely days
Am
But Lord the nights were long
           D
And we'd dream of better moments
C                G
When mama sang a song
       G
Now I can't recall the words at all
    C
It don't make sense to try
      D
Cause I just knew lots of love came through
          C               G
In that rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing

[Estribillo]

 G                                    Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na  it'll be alright
 C                    D                  G
Sha na na na na na na na na na now just hold on tight

(I can hear ya mama ma ma ma ma ma)
 G                                     Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na it'll be alright
          C                     D
Nothin' eased my sole like the sound of a good old
C                G
Rock and roll lullaby

[Final] G  Am  C  D  C  Am  G
