Elton John, Crocodile Rock (1972)
Key: :[C#] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [C#] [A#m] [F#] [G#]
VERSE 1:
I
[C#] remember when rock was young
Me and
[Fm] 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
[Fm] 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:
[A#m] 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 ^
[F#sus4]^
[F#] sight
BRIDGE:
[C#] La-a-a, la-la-la-la
[A#m] 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
[Fm] 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'
[Fm] 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:
