INTRO: [C#]

VERSE 1:
Well [C#] listen everybody let me tell you about the rock 'n' roll
Oh [C#] feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your [G#] soul
Mmm [F#] come along with me, to a [C#] land of make believe
She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [G#] rock'n'roll is [C#] king

VERSE 2:
She loves that [C#] rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the tele-[G#]-phone
She says [F#] feel that jumpin' beat, and [C#] git up on your feet
She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [G#] rock'n'roll is [C#] king

CHORUS:
Oh let those [F#] guitars [C#] play
Play for [G#] me play for [C#] me
Oh let that [F#] song ring [C#] out
That's [D#] how it's meant to [G#] be

VERSE 3:
It [C#] rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky [G#] back
She [F#] loves that drivin' beat, she goes [C#] dancin' on down the street
She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [G#] rock'n'roll is [C#] king

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
When she [C#] comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna do is rock'n'-[G#]-roll
Now [F#] here I'm gonna stay when that [C#] music starts to play
She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [G#] rock'n'roll is [C#] king
