ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN (Chuck Berry)
 
  
E
 I'm gonna write a little letter,

Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
        A
It's a rockin' rhythm record
                      E
I want my jockey to play.
     B                        A               E
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.


              E
You know, my temperature's risin'

And the jukebox blows a fuse.
     A 
My heart's beatin' rhythm
                                   E
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues.
     B                   A                     E                
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.


           E
I got the rockin' pneumonia,

I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
             A      
I think I'm rollin' arthritis
                              E
Sittin' down by the rhythm review.
     B               A                 E 
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.



              E
Well, if you feel you like it

go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
                 A
roll it over and move on up just
                       E
a trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over,
     B               A                 E  
roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.


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


              E
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,

Dance like a spinnin' top.
           A 
She got a crazy partner,
                         E 
Oughta see 'em reel and rock.
         B                  A                E  
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop.


B              E          
 Roll over Beethoven,

Roll over Beethoven,
              A
Roll over Beethoven,
              E
Roll over Beethoven,
              B                     A          E
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.
