C                          Em
What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
            Bb                        F
"Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?"
C                        Em
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
            Bb                F
"Welcome back to the age of jive

[Chorus]
Em                       Am
Where've you been hidin' out lately, honey?
Em                                D            G
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
C           Em                   Bb
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
F               Am              G      C
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

[Verse]
                            Em
What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
            Bb                       F
"Can't you tell that it's out of style?"
C                       Em
Should I get a set of white wall tires?
              Bb                   F
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?

[Chorus]
Em                        Am
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
        Em                  D            G
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
C         Em         Bb            F
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
     Am             G       C
It's still rock and roll to me

[Bridge]
    G                           F
Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
            G               Am
'Cause it's always been the same old scene
          G
There's a new band in town
        F                          E                Ab
But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
 Eb                     F    G
Aimed at your average teen

[Verse]
C                   Em
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
       Bb                    F
And a bright orange pair of pants?
C                      Em
"You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
        Bb                 F
If you just give it half a chance

[Chorus]
Em                          Am
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
    Em                      D                G
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
C           Em         Bb           F
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
     Am              G      C
It's still rock and roll to me

Oooh
C                          Em
What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
            Bb                         F
"Don't you know that they're out of touch?"
C                           Em
Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
        Bb                      F
"If you are then you think too much

[Chorus]
Em                        Am
Don't you know about the new fashion honey?
Em                           D              G
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
         C           E         Bb           F
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
      Am            G       C
It's still rock and roll to me

[Outro]
            Em                   Bb
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
F               D                         C
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
