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]
