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 today.
 
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.
