C   A# A  G# G  Dm G

[Verse 1]
G       G    Dm           F        C
I was a city child with a dead-end smile
      Dm         F             C G
And a worm's-eye point of view
          C  A#           F           C
Oh I knew my way, I was a back-street stray
      A#     F       G
And I had my eyes on you

[Pre-Chorus]
D                                G     Em          D# A
Now I got this friend and he's a screwdriver-jiver
                           Em                 C
You know, some kinda automobeat on the street
D#          Am          E            C  A#
And he has converted me to rock'n'roll

[Chorus]
G
I just wanna dance to
C                  Am
Honaloochie boogie yeah
G#     G           E                     C
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
                   Am
Honaloochie boogie yeah
G#       G           F     G
You sure started somethin'

[Verse 2]
G      C         D             F         C
Now my hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger
      Dm         F        C    G
Wanna tell Chuck Berry my news
      C         A#   F       C
I get my kicks outta guitar licks
         A#      F          G
And I've sold my steel-toed shoes

[Pre-Chorus]
D#        Am                     Em          C
Now I got this friend and he's a spider west-sider
D#        Am                G  Em                D#
You know, he's hung up on a protection rejection thing
Am                  G   Em        A#
But I have made him see the light

[Chorus]
G
He just wanna dance to
C                  Am
Honaloochie boogie yeah
G#     G           E                     C
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
                   Fm
Honaloochie boogie yeah
F        G       F         G
You sure started somethin'

[Outro]
C                  F
Honaloochie boogie yeah
       G           E
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
C                  Am
Honaloochie boogie yeah
G#       C           F     G
You sure started somethin'
C                  F
Honaloochie boogie yeah
       G           E
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
C                  F
Honaloochie boogie yeah
         G           F      G
You sure started somethin'
C                  F
Honaloochie boogie yeah
       G           E
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
C                  Am
