Roll Over Beethoven

A                                                                   D                                        A

Well gonna write a little letter, Gonna mail it to my local D.J.

A       D                                                                                 A

It's a rockin' little record, I want my jockey to play

         E                                          D                                  A

Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

 

A                                                                              D                                          A

You know my temperature's risin', and the jukebox's blowin' a fuse

A                 D                                                                                             A

My hearts beatin' rhythm, and my soul keeps singing the blues

         E                                          D                                  A

Roll over Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky the news

 

 

I got a rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues

I think I got it off the writer, sittin' down by the rhythm review

Roll over Beethoven, we're rockin' in two by two

 

Well if you fell you like it, Well get your lover and reel and rock it

roll it over and move on up,just jump around and reel and rock it

roll it over, Roll over Beethoven, a rockin' in two by two , oh

 

 

 

Well early in the mornin', I'm a givin' you the warnin'

Don't you step on my blue suede showes, Hey little little

gonna play my fiddle, Ain't got nothing to lose

Roll over Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky the news

 

You know she winks like a glow worm, Dance like a spinnin' top

She got a crazy partner, oughta see 'em reel an rock

Long as she's got a dime, the music will never stop

 

                                            A

Roll over Beethoven, Roll over Beethoven

                                            D                                     A

Roll over Beethoven, Roll over Beethoven

                                            E                                                         E

Roll over Beethoven, and dig these rhythm and blues

 

 

Chuck Berry  #29 in 1956
