G                             C
Do you know who I am said Bill Haley
G                            D
In a pancake house down by the Rio Grande
G                               C
And the waitress said I don't know you from diddly
G              D             G
To me you look like one more tired old man

[Verse 2]
                                      C
Well, he walked and he walked down on Main street
  G                            D
A hot wind blowing up from the south
G                               C
Two eye's staring in a pawnshop window
  G              D             G
A whiskey bottle lifted to his mouth

[Chorus]
 G            C       D              G
And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
C        D                       G
A bus of migrants pulled through town
C               D             G     Em
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
     C       D             G
When Haley's comet hit the ground

[Verse 3]
                                      C
He blacked out all the windows in his bedroom
       G                              D
He was talking to the ceiling and the walls
   G                                     C
He closed his eyes and hit the stage in '55
        G              D                G
And the screams of the women filled the hall

[Chorus]
 G            C       D              G
And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
C        D                       G
A bus of migrants pulled through town
C               D             G     Em
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
     C       D             G
When Haley's comet hit the ground

[Instrumental]
G   C   G   D   G   C   G  D  G

[Verse 4]
G                                  C
A cop walks in a Pancake House in Texas
 G                         D
He ordered up two coffees to go
G                                     C
He told the waitress, "We just found the body
       G         D               G
Of the man who invented Rock 'n' Roll"

[Chorus]
G            C       D              G
And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
C        D                       G
A bus of migrants pulled through town
C               D             G     Em
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
     C       D             G
When Haley's comet hit the ground

[Instrumental]
G   C   D   G

     C       D             G
When Haley's comet hit the ground
