Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock (Official Lyric Video) chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb]
One through a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there, they began to wail.
The band was jumping and the jaw began to swing.
You should have heard us knock down jail [Ab] beds, sing let it rock.
Everybody [Eb] let it rock.
[Bb] [D] Everybody did oh [Ebm] say a God.
[Eb] People dancing to the tail out rock.
Spider Murphy played it in a saxophone.
Little Joe was blowing on the slide trombone.
Drummer Boyfriend Mellon thought we crashed boom bang.
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang, let it rock.
Everybody let it rock.
[Bb] Everybody did oh [Ab] say a God.
[Eb] People dancing to the tail out rock.
Number 47 said to number 3,
You were the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company.
Come on and do the tail out rock.
Oh it'll be [Ebm] let it rock.
Everybody [Eb] let it rock.
[F] Everybody did oh say a God.
[Eb] People dancing to the tail out rock.
[Ebm] It's [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
like we're sitting on a block of stone.
We're all in the corner weeping all alone.
The warden said hey buddy don't you be no square.
You better find a partner, use a [Ebm] wooden chair.
Let it rock.
Everybody let it rock.
[F] Everybody did oh [C] say a God.
[Eb] People dancing to the tail out rock.
Shifter Henry said to Bugs for heaven's sake.
The warden's looking at us just to make a break.
Bugs he turned to Shifter and he said Nick's Nick.
I want to stick around [Ebm] a while to get my kicks.
Let it rock.
[Eb] Everybody let it rock.
[D] Everybody did oh [Ebm] say a God.
[Eb] People dancing to the tail out rock.
Dancing to the tail out rock.
Everybody let it rock.
Everybody did oh say a God.
[D] [N]
