CROCODILE ROCK

Elton John


[G] I remember when rock was young,
Me and [Bm] Susie had so much fun,
Holdin' [C] hands and skimmin' stones,
Had an [D] old gold Chevy and a place of my own.
But the [G] biggest kick I ever got,
Was doin' a [Bm] thing called the Crocodile Rock,
While the [C] other kids were rockin' 'round the clock,
We were [D] hoppin' and boppin' to the crocodile rock.

Well, [Em] Crocodile Rockin' is somethin' shockin'
When your [A7] feet just can't keep still.
[D7] I never knew me a better time and I [G] guess I never will.
Oh, [E] lawdy mamma, those Friday nights,
When [A7] Susie wore her dresses tight,
And [D7] Crocodile Rockin' was [C] out of [D] sight.

But the [G] years went by and the rock just died,
[Bm] Susie went and left me for some foreign guy.
[C] Long nights cryin' by the record machine,
[D] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans.
But they'll [G] never kill the thrills we've got,
Burnin' [Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock,
learnin' [C] fast 'till the weeks went past.
We really [D] thought the Crocodile Rock would last.

Well, [Em] Crocodile Rockin' is somethin' shockin'
When your [A7] feet just can't keep still.
[D7] I never knew me a better time and I [G] guess I never will.
Oh, [E] lawdy mamma, those Friday nights,
When [A7] Susie wore her dresses tight,
And [D7] Crocodile Rockin' was [C] out of [D] sight.

[G] I remember when rock was young,
Me and [Bm] Susie had so much fun,
Holdin' [C] hands and skimmin' stones,
Had an [D] old gold Chevy and a place of my own.
But the [G] biggest kick I ever got,
Was doin' a [Bm] thing called the Crocodile Rock,
While the [C] other kids were rockin' 'round the clock,
We were [D] hoppin' and boppin' to the crocodile rock.

Well, [Em] Crocodile Rockin' is somethin' shockin'
When your [A7] feet just can't keep still.

When [A7] Susie wore her dresses tight,
And [D7] Crocodile Rockin' was [C] out of [D] sight.
