Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
They used to call me rockabilly. All of us ran through
When Elvis opened up the door. Boo-bop-a-lop-bam-boo.
I didn't ever play much rock and roll,
'Cause I got so much country in my soul.
But I'm a different man for lovin' you,
And I'd take a shot at what you asked me to.
And, baby, I will rock and roll with you, if I have to.
Guitar solo
Memphis, nineteen fifty-five on Union Avenue;
Carl and Jerry and Charlie and Roy and Billy Riley too.
A new sun risin' on the way we sing,
And a world of weirdos waitin' in the wings.
But I love you, and though I'm past forty-two,
There are still a few things yet I didn't do.
And, baby, I will rock and roll with you, if I have to.
