ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN

 

Chuck Berry

 

[C] I'm gonna write a little letter,

Gonna [F7] mail it to my local D [C] J. [C7]

Yes, it's a [F7] jumpin' little record I want my jockey to [C] play.

[G] Roll over Beethoven, I gotta [F7] hear it again to-[C]-day. [G]

 

You know my [C] temperature's risin'

And the [F7] jukebox blowin' a [C] fuse. [C7]

[F7] My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps singin' the [C] blues.

[G] Roll over Beethoven and [F7] tell Tchaikowsky the [C] news. [G]

 

[C] I got the rockin' pneumonia,

[F7] I need a shot of rhythm and [C] blues. [C7]

I caught the [F7] rollin' arthritis sittin' down at a rhythm re-[C]-view.

[G] Roll over Beethoven, they're [F7] rockin' in two by [C] two. [G]

 

[C] Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover then reel and rock it,

[C7] Roll it over, then [F7] move on up just a trifle further,

Then [C] reel and rock with one another,

Roll [G] over Beethoven, [F7] dig these rhythm and [C] blues. [G]

 

[C] Well early in the mornin' and I'm [F7] givin' you the warnin'

Don't you [C] step on my blue suede [C7] shoes.

[F7] Hey diddle diddle, I'm a playin' my fiddle, ain't got nothin' to [C] lose.

[G] Roll over Beethoven and [F7] tell Tchaikowsky the [C] news. [G]

 

You know she [C] wiggles like a glow-worm,

[F7] Dance like a spinnin' [C] top. [C7]

She got a [F7] crazy partner, you oughta see 'em reel and [C] rock.

As long as [G] she's got a dime, the [F7] music will never [C] stop. [G]

 

Roll over Beet-[C]-hoven, roll over Beet-[C7]-hoven,

Roll over Beet-[F7]-hoven, roll over Beet-[C]-hoven,

Roll over Beet-[G]-hoven and [F7] dig these rhythm and [C] blues. [G]
