Chords for Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock (Lyrics)

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
One through a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there, they began [D] to wail.
[Eb] The band was jumping and the drum began to swing.
[Ebm] You should have heard them knock down jail [Ab] beds, singin' that rock.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _
[D] Everybody, everybody in Old [Ebm] South Block
[Eb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock.
Spider Murphy played it in a saxophone.
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide [D] trombone.
[Eb] The drummer, Buffy Miller, Lord, we crashed boom-bang.
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang, let's rock.
_ Everybody, let's rock. _ _
[Bb] Everybody in Old [Ebm] South Block
[Eb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock.
Number 47 said to Number 3,
You're the cutest jailbird I ever [D] did see.
[Eb] I sure would be delighted with your company.
Come on and do the tail [B]-high rock, oh it'll be [Ebm] that rock.
_ Everybody, [Eb] let's rock. _ _
[F] Everybody in Old South Block
[Bb] Was dancing [Eb] to the tail-high rock.
[Ebm] It's _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Gm] _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ like we're sitting on a block of stone.
We're over and weeping all [D] alone.
[Eb] But buddy, don't you be no square.
You can't find a partner, [Ebm] use a wooden chair, let's rock.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] [Dm] Everybody in Old [C] South Block
[Eb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock.
Shifter Henry said to Bugs for heaven's sake,
No one's looking at us just to make [D] a break.
[Eb] Bugs had turned the shifter and he said,
It makes me sick.
I wanna stick around a [Ab] while to get my kicks.
Let's rock.
[Eb] _ Everybody, [Bb] let's rock. _ _
[Gb] [D] Everybody in Old [Ebm] South Block
[Eb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock.
Dancing to the tail-high rock.
Dancing to the tail-high rock.
[D] [Eb] Dancing to the tail-high rock.
Dancing to the tail-high rock.
Dancing to the tail-high rock. _ _ _ _
