Elton John, Crocodile Rock (1972)
Key: :[G] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [G] [Em] [C] [D]
VERSE 1:
I
[G] remember when rock was young
Me and
[Bm] Suzy had so much fun
Holdin'
[C] hands and skimmin' stones
Had an
[D] old gold Chevy and a place of my own
VERSE 2:
But the
[G] biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a
[Bm] thing called Crocodile Rock
While the
[C] other kids were rockin' round the clock
We were
[D] hoppin' and boppin to the Crocodile Rock, well
CHORUS:
[Em] Crocodile Rockin' is somethin' shockin'
When your
[A] feet just can't keep still
[D] Never knew me a better time
And I
[G] guess I never will
Oh
[E] lordy mama, those Friday nights
When
[A] Suzy wore her dresses tight
[D] Crocodile Rockin' was ou-out of ^
[Csus4]^
[C] sight
BRIDGE:
[G] La-a-a, la-la-la-la
[Em] la
La-la-la-la
[C] la, La-la-la-la
[D] la
VERSE 3:
But the
[G] years went by and rock just died
[Bm] Suzy went and left us for some foreign guy
[C] Long nights cryin' by the record machine
[D] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
VERSE 4:
But they'll
[G] never kill the thrills we got
Burnin'
[Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learnin'
[C] fast as the weeks went past
We really
[D] thought the Crocodile rock would last, well
REPEAT CHORUS:
REPEAT BRIDGE:
