Roll Over Beethoven

            E
Well, I'mma write a little letter,

I'm gonna mail it to my local DJ.
             A
Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record
                     E
I want my jockey to play.
     B                             
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear 
          E
it again today.


(same chords progression)

You know, my temperature's risin',
the jukebox blowin' a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
and my soul keep a-singin' the 
blues.
Roll over Beethoven, tell 
Tchaikovsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm revue.
Roll over Beethoven, they rockin' in
 two by two.


[Bridge]

E
Well, if you feel you like it
E
Go get your lover, then reel and 
rock it.
E                A
Roll it over and move on up just
A                    E
a trifle further and reel and rock 
it, roll it over.
E    B
Roll over Beethoven, rockin' in two 
by two.


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

Well, early in the mornin' I'm 
a-givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede 
shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my 
fiddle,
Ain't got nothin' to lose.
Roll over Beethoven and tell 
Tchaikovsky the news.

You know she wiggle like a glow 
worm,
Dance like a spinnin' top.
She got a crazy partner,
You oughta see 'em reel and rock.
Long as she got a dime the music 
will never stop.


[Outro]
(same chords)

Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven and dig these 
rhythm and blues.
