It’s Still Rock ’N’ Roll To Me - Billy Joel
Intro: [C] [C] [C] [C]
Verse 1:
[C] What's the matter with the [Em] clothes I'm wearing ?
"Can't you [Bb] tell that your tie's too [F] wide ?"
[C] Maybe I should bye some [Em] old tab collar ?
"Welcome [Bb] back to the age of [F] jive.”
|Chorus 1:
|[Em] “Where have you been hidin' [Am] out lately, honey?
|You [Em] can't dress trashy till you [D] spend a lot of [G] money."
|[C] Everybody [Em] talking 'bout the [Bb] new sound, [F] funny, but
|it's [Am] still rock and [G] roll to [C] me. [C]
Verse 2:
[C] What's the matter with the [Em] car I'm driving?
“Can't you [Bb] tell that it's out of [F] style?"
[C] Should I get a set of [Em] white wall tyres?
"Are you [Bb] gonna cruise the miracle [F] mile?”
|Chorus 2:
|[Em] “Nowadays you cant't be [Am] too sentimental,
|your [Em] best bet's a true, baby, [D] blue Conti[G]nental."
|[C] Hot funk, [Em] cool punk [Bb] even if it's [F] old junk,
|it's [Am] still rock and [G] roll to [C] me. [C]
Bridge:
Oh, [G] it doesn't matter what they [F] say in the papers,
'cause it's [Em] always been the same old [A] scene.
There's a [G] new band in town but you [F] can't get the sound
from a [Em] story in a maga[G#]zine, [Eb] aimed at your average [F] teen. [G]
Verse 3:
[C] How about a pair of [Em] pink sidewinders and a [Bb] bright orange pair of [F] pants?
[C] "Well, you could really be a [Em] Beau Brummel, baby,
if you [Bb] just give it half a [F] chance.”
|Chorus 3:
|[Em] “Don't waste your money on a [Am] new set of speakers.
|you [Em] get more mileage from a [D] cheaper pair of [G] sneakers."
|[C] Next phase, [Em] new wave, [Bb] dance trace, [F] anyways,
|it's [Am] still rock and [G] roll to [C] me.
Verse 4:
[C] What's the matter with the [Em] crowd I'm seeing? -
"Don't [Bb] know that they're out of [F] touch?"
[C] Should I try to be a [Em] straight A student?
“If you [Bb] are, then you think too [F] much".
|Chorus 4:
|[Em] "Don't you know about the [Am] new fashion, honey?
|[Em] all you need are looks and a [D] whole lot a [G] money."
|It's the [C] next phase, [Em] new wave, [Bb] dance trace, [F] anyways,
|it's [Am] still rock and [G] roll to [C] me.
Outro:
[C*] Everybody's [Em*] talking about the [Bb*] new sound, [F*] funny, but
it's [Am*] still rock and roll to me.
