[Eb]
[Ebm]
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
Well, I'm gonna write a little letter, [Abm] I'm gonna mail it [Eb] to my local E.J.
[Ab] Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record I want my [Eb] jockey to play.
[Bb] Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it [Eb] again today.
You know my [Ab] temperature's risin', the jukebox blowin' a [Eb] fuse.
[Ab] My heart beatin' rhythm and my soul keep a [Eb]-singin' the blues.
Roll [Bb] over Beethoven, tell [Eb] Chikowsky you're new.
I got to rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
[Ab] I caught the rollin' author writer sittin' down at a [Eb] rhythm review.
Roll [Gm] over Beethoven, they're rockin' in [Eb] two by two.
Well, if you feel it and like it, go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
[Ab] Roll it over, then move on up, just a track or further, [Eb] then reel and rock with one another.
Roll [Bb] over Beethoven, dig [Eb] this rhythm and blues.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Abm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
Well, [Ab] in the morning, I'm givin' you my [Eb] money, don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
[Abm] Hey, diddle diddle, I'ma play my [Eb] fiddle, ain't got nothin' to lose.
Roll over [Bb] Beethoven, tell Chikowsky [Eb] you're new.
You know she wiggle [Ab] like a blowworm, dance like a [Eb] spinning top.
She [Ab] got a crazy partner, you oughta see him [Eb] reel and rock.
[Bb] Long as she got a dime, the music gon' never [Eb] stop.
Roll over Beethoven, roll over Beethoven.
Roll over [Ab] Beethoven, roll over [Eb] Beethoven.
Roll over [Bb] Beethoven, dig [Eb] to the rhythm and blues.
[F] [N]
