Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 N/C E

I want the people to know that he saved my soul

 But I Estill like to listen to the radio

 They say Erock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance

 I say, "I Efeel so good I've gotta get up and dance."

F♯7I know what's right, I know what's wrong,A I don't confuse it

EAll I'm really trying to say is, "EWhy should the devil have all the good music?"

F♯And I feel good every Aday,

 because BJesus is the rock and he Arolled my blues Eaway

 They Esay to cut my hair, they're driving me insane

 I Egrew it out long to make room for my brain

 But Esometimes people don'tE understand

 What's a Egood boy doing in a rock-n-roll band

F♯7There's nothing wrong with playingA blues licks

 Well Eif you've got a reason tell me to my face, "EWhy should the devil have all the good music?"

F♯There's nothing wrong with what I Aplay,

BJesus is the rock and he rolAled my blues aEway

Solo

F♯ A7 F♯ A7

F♯I ain't knocking the hymns,A just give me a song that has a beat

F♯I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a songA that moves my feet

BI don't like none of those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet!

Solo Section 2: E (4 bars build one note at a time to E7)

A A7 E7 B7 A7 E7

EJesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way

 There's Eone more thing I'd like to say

 They Enailed him to the cross and they Elaid him in the ground

 But they Eshould have known you can't keep a good man down

F♯I feel good every dayA I don't want to lose it

EAll I wanna, all I wanna know is, "EWhy should the devil have all the good music?"

F♯I've been filled I feel okayA

BJesus is the rock and he Arolled my blues

B7Jesus is the rock and he A7rolled my blues

B7Jesus is the rock and he A7rolled my blues away
