Elton John, Crocodile Rock (1972)
Key: :[C] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [C] [Am] [F] [G]
VERSE 1:
I
[C] remember when rock was young
Me and
[Em] Suzy had so much fun
Holdin'
[F] hands and skimmin' stones
Had an
[G] old gold Chevy and a place of my own
VERSE 2:
But the
[C] biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a
[Em] thing called Crocodile Rock
While the
[F] other kids were rockin' round the clock
We were
[G] hoppin' and boppin to the Crocodile Rock, well
CHORUS:
[Am] Crocodile Rockin' is somethin' shockin'
When your
[D] feet just can't keep still
[G] Never knew me a better time
And I
[C] guess I never will
Oh
[A] lordy mama, those Friday nights
When
[D] Suzy wore her dresses tight
[G] Crocodile Rockin' was ou-out of ^
[Fsus4]^
[F] sight
BRIDGE:
[C] La-a-a, la-la-la-la
[Am] la
La-la-la-la
[F] la, La-la-la-la
[G] la
VERSE 3:
But the
[C] years went by and rock just died
[Em] Suzy went and left us for some foreign guy
[F] Long nights cryin' by the record machine
[G] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
VERSE 4:
But they'll
[C] never kill the thrills we got
Burnin'
[Em] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learnin'
[F] fast as the weeks went past
We really
[G] thought the Crocodile rock would last, well
REPEAT CHORUS:
REPEAT BRIDGE:
