The Coasters - That is rock and roll

^G In the beginning there was nothing but rock, ^Em Then somebody invented the wheel ^C And things just began to roll

Did you^G ever hear a tenor sax,^Em swingin' like a rusty^C axe Honkin' like a^A7 frog, down^G in a hollow log,^A7 baby, that is rock and^D roll Did yo^Gu ever hear a guitar twang,^B7 Jingy - jingy - jingy -^C jang ^C Ever hear those^A7 strings^G doin' crazy^E things,^A7 baby, that is^D rock and^G roll

^C That ain't no freight train that you hear rollin' down the railroad track^Gs That's a^A7 country boy piano man, Playin' in between the cracks^D You^G say that music's for the birds, and you^B7 can't understand the^C words But honey, if you^A7 did, you'd^G really blow you^Emr lid 'Cause^A7 baby, that is^D rock and^G roll
