Chorus:

        [repeat 2X]:

               A [lead guitar 
repeats intro riff]
        I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
        I been a-boogieing since I 
ditched the stroller
                    E        A
        So come on hold me tight
                    D         E    A
    [1st repeat: E]
        And we can rock the night 
away

Verse 2:

        Tight booted teenie with the
 smiling face
        Make me want to smile and 
shake
        Come on out today and shimmy
 like a rattlesnake

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

           D
        I get this feeling when I 
hear that beat
                 A
        I gotta jump and get up on 
the table
                          D
        'Cause when that rhythm and 
blues electrifies my shoes
                   B [N.C.]         
        E
        I get the message like it 
came by cable  (Hey!)

Coda:

        E         A

rock the night away
                     E         A  
        So come on, hold me tight 
             D         E    A

contrasting part that I can't pick 
out of
         the near-mono mix)
