Berry Rides Again

C

[Verse 1]

    C
Well thinking of my schooldays, I 
remember Maybeline
       C
Used to dance with her all night she
 was little sweet sixteen
   F                            
Her brother used to chase me, he 
                           C
thought I did, but I never could
         G                        
I used to call him Little Queenie,
F                      C
 his name was Johnny B. Good

[Verse 2]

C
I used to hold her 'till I was older
C
Then I got bolder, her brother used 
to scold her
 F                               
I left there in the mornin', went 
                      C
back to Memphis, Tennessee
            G                      
You know her brother never found me
F                         C
 and that's all right with me

[Verse 3]

Continues after the ad
 C
I went to New York City to find what
 could be found
C
Just for kicks down sixty-six, 
stopped in L.A. Town
     F                             
Yes I went to California just to 
              C
see what I could see
       G                         F
Well nobody knew just where I was 
                         C
and that's all right with me

[Verse 4]

          C
You know I met a girl named Carol 
and her girlfriend sweet Nadine
          C
Played the rock n' roll music, used 
to kiss me in between
F                                 
Roll over Beethoven that happened 
                  C
to be her favorite song
      G                      F 
But we never did much rollin', I 
                   C
didn't stay there long

[Verse 5]

C
I used to hold her and try to mold 
her
C
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were
 bolder
 F                               
I left there in the mornin', went 
                      C
back to Memphis, Tennessee
          G                        
You know I never saw her face again
F                         C
 and that's all right with me
