E                 F#m
Never thought I'd have a worry
B              E
for me to be alone
E               F#m
Playing near or far too many
B                   E
times should have known
D       A             E
It can lose you all sleep at night
D            A             E
Twelve bar blues is now alright
         D
Now it's up to you
     A               E
to try and find the reason to
 A
Rock 'n' Roll and every song
 B7
Rock 'n' Roll and everyone

Chorus:
      E
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock and Rock 'n' Roll
                                          B7
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock keeps rollin' on
C#m             F#
Waiting all the time to find

They say you'll get there in the end
F#m     B7     E     C#m
We can pray, what we say
A        B                E
Makes a difference in the end

Looking back it can be funny, it can be very strange
Never win or lose too many, you have to rearrange
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it's up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock 'n' Roll and every song
Rock 'n' Roll and everyone

Chorus

Rushing always in a hurry, and try to give it up
Everything we do it's funny, it's never good enough
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it's up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock 'n' Roll and every song
Rock 'n' Roll and everyone

Chorus
