Elton John, Crocodile Rock (1972)
Key: :[D] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [D] [Bm] [G] [A]
VERSE 1:
I
[D] remember when rock was young
Me and
[F#m] Suzy had so much fun
Holdin'
[G] hands and skimmin' stones
Had an
[A] old gold Chevy and a place of my own
VERSE 2:
But the
[D] biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a
[F#m] thing called Crocodile Rock
While the
[G] other kids were rockin' round the clock
We were
[A] hoppin' and boppin to the Crocodile Rock, well
CHORUS:
[Bm] Crocodile Rockin' is somethin' shockin'
When your
[E] feet just can't keep still
[A] Never knew me a better time
And I
[D] guess I never will
Oh
[B] lordy mama, those Friday nights
When
[E] Suzy wore her dresses tight
[A] Crocodile Rockin' was ou-out of ^
[Gsus4]^
[G] sight
BRIDGE:
[D] La-a-a, la-la-la-la
[Bm] la
La-la-la-la
[G] la, La-la-la-la
[A] la
VERSE 3:
But the
[D] years went by and rock just died
[F#m] Suzy went and left us for some foreign guy
[G] Long nights cryin' by the record machine
[A] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
VERSE 4:
But they'll
[D] never kill the thrills we got
Burnin'
[F#m] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learnin'
[G] fast as the weeks went past
We really
[A] thought the Crocodile rock would last, well
REPEAT CHORUS:
REPEAT BRIDGE:
