C          F      C        F           C F C F
Won't you let me walk you home from school
C          F      C       F      Dm
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Dm     Am      Dm
Maybe Friday I can
     Am              Dm
Get tickets for the dance
          G F Em Dm
And I'll take you

Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"?
Tell him what we said 'bout "Paint It, Black"
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay,
come inside now it's okay
And I'll shake you

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well, let me know,
if it's "no," well, I can go
I won't make you
