[F#] [G] The one threw a party at the [F#] county [G] jail.
The prison band was there, they began to [G] wail.

You should have heard the knocked out jailbird [C] singer.
Let's rock.
[G] Everybody, let's rock.
[D] Everybody in [Gm] the wholesale block [G] was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone.
A little Joe was blowing on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang.
The whole rhythm section was the purple [C] gang.
Let's rock.
Everybody, [G] let's rock.
[D] Everybody in the [Gm] wholesale block [G] was dancing to the jailhouse rock.

[G] Sad sack was sitting on a block of stone.
Way over in the corner weeping all alone.
The warden said, hey buddy, don't you be no square.
You can't find a pot and use a wooden [C] chair.

Everybody, [G] let's rock.
[D] Everybody in the [Gm] wholesale block [G] was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
[G] Shifty Henry said, hey, but for [F#] heaven's [G] sake,
no one's looking as a chance to make a break.
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he [F#] said, nix, [G] nix.
I want to stick around while I get my [C] kicks.
Let's rock.
Everybody, [G] let's rock.
[D] Everybody in the [Gm] wholesale block [G] was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
