Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music?
N/C E
I want the people to know that he saved my soul
But I Estill like to listen to the radio
They say Erock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance
I say, &quEot;I feel so good I've gotta get up and dance."
F#7I know what's right, I know what's wrong,A I don't confuse it
EAll I'm really trying to say is, &Equot;Why should the devil have all the good music?"
F#And I feel good every Aday,
because BJesus is the rock and he Arolled my blues Eaway
They Esay to cut my hair, they're driving me insane
I Egrew it out long to make room for my brain
But Esometimes people don'tE understand
What's a Egood boy doing in a rock-n-roll band
F#7There's nothing wrong with playingA blues licks
Well Eif you've got a reason tell me to my face, &Equot;Why should the devil have all the good music?"
F#There's nothing wrong with what I Aplay,
BJesus is the rock and he rolAled my blues aEway
Solo: F# | / | A7 | / | F# | / | A7 | / |
F#I ain't knocking the hymns,A just give me a song that has a beat
F#I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a songA that moves my feet
BI don't like none of those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet!
Solo Section 2: E (4 bars build one note at a time to E7)
| A | A7 | E7 | B7 | A7 | E7 | / |
EJesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way
There's Eone more thing I'd like to say
They Enailed him to the cross and they Elaid him in the ground
But they Eshould have known you can't keep a good man down
F#I feel good every dayA I don't want to lose it
EAll I wanna, all I wanna know is, &Equot;Why should the devil have all the good music?"
F#I've been filled I feel okayA
BJesus is the rock and he Arolled my blues
B7Jesus is the rock and he A7rolled my blues
B7Jesus is the rock and he A7rolled my blues away
Ending bit: E
