Chords for Elton John- Crocodile Rock (1973)

For the next number we [G#] will use the organ _ and the organ will be played by our wonderful sound [Gm] engineer [N] Mr.
Clive Franks.
And here he is.
What's up?
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ For the number a nostalgic piece, _ _ _ _ rather like [C] me really.
_ [G] Here we are.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [F#] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] I remember when the rock was young, [B] me and Susie had so much fun.
[C] Holding hands and screaming songs.
[D] Had a book of shenanigans to play for my own.
[G]
Biggest gig I ever shot.
[Bm] And I sang for the crack of dawn rock.
[C] While the other kids were rocking round the block.
[D] Even Robin's father, he was a crack of dawn rocker.
[Em] And I'm a rockin', rockin', rockin' [A] like the beat of Crackin' Jack.
_ [D]
I never knew me and fellas fine, but [G] I guess I'll never win.
I [E]
don't bother for Friday night.
[A]
Susie was just as silent.
[D]
And I rocked her while she was high, high, high, high, [C] high, high, high, high.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] La, la, la.
_ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ The [G] years went by and the rock just died.
[B]
Susie went and left me for the foreign guy.
[C] Long night drive, I directed the sheets.
[D]
Cleaning up my shaving and my old blue jeans.
[G] That never gives a truth, me [G] darlin'.
Running [Bm] up to the crack of dawn rock.
Running [C]
fast after we went fast.
We [D] really thought the crack of dawn rock would last away.
[Em] But I rocked her from top to bottom.
And [A] when the beat just went [A] down.
_ [D]
I never knew me and fellas fine, but [G] I guess I'll never win.
[E] I don't bother for Friday night.
[A]
Susie was just as silent.
[D] And I rocked her while she was high, high, high, [C] high, _ high, high, high, high.
[G] La, _ _ _ la, [Em] la.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ I [G] remember when her bus drove.
_ _ [Bm]
Susie had so much fun.
On [C] the night that Jimmy drove.
And [D] I'm old so jazzy, I'm reflecting my old.
[G] Susie, did you think I ever died?
_ [Bm] Should have thanked all the crack of dawn rock.
But [C] the other kids were rocking down the block.
We [D] were humming the song of Jimmy the crack of dawn rock.
Oh, [Em] and the fire running through the block.
Shout to the [A] man that beat the beat.
_ _ _ [D]
Never knew me and fellas fine, but [G] I guess I'll never win.
_ [E] _
I don't bother for Friday night.
[A]
Susie was just as silent.
[D]
And I rocked her while she was high, high, [C] high, high, high, high, high, high.
[G] _
_ _ La, la, [Em] la, la, la, la, _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D]
la.
