Roll Over Beethoven

Chuck Berry

	E	E
	I'm gonna write a little letter,	Gonna mail it to my local DJ.

	A	A	E
It's a	rockin' rhythm record I	want my jockey to	play.

	B	B	E
Roll	over Beethoven, I	gotta hear it again to	day.

You know, my temperature's risin' And the jukebox blows a fuse.

My heart's beatin' rhythm And my soul keeps on singin' the blues.

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues.

I think I'm rollin' arthritis Sittin' down by the rhythm review.

Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.

	E	E
	well, if you feel you like it -	go get your lover, then reel and rock it.

	E	A	A	E
	roll it over and	move on up just -	a trifle further and	reel and rock it, roll it over,

	E	B
	roll	over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.

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 wiggles like a glow worm, Dance like a spinnin' top.

She got a crazy partner, Oughta see 'em reel and rock.

Long as she got a dime the music will never stop.

Roll over Beethoven,

Roll over Beethoven,

Roll over Beethoven,

Roll over Beethoven,

Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.
