Verse:
C What’s the matter with the Em clothes I’m wearing?
“Can’t ya Bb tell that your tie’s too F wide?”

“Welcome Bb back to the age of F jive”
Refrain:
Em “Where have you been hidin’ Am out lately, honey?

F Funny, but it’s Am still rock and G roll to C me
Verse:
C What’s the matter with the Em car I’m driving?
“Can’t ya Bb tell that it’s out of F style?”

Your Em best bet’s a true baby D blue Conti G nental”

It’s Am still rock and G roll to C me … | C
Bridge:
G it doesn’t matter what they F say in the papers,
Cause it’s E7 always been the same old Am scene

From a E7 story in a maga Ab zine,
Eb Aimed at your average F teen G
Verse:

And a Bb bright orange pair of F pants?
C “Well, you could really be a Em Beau Brummel baby,
If you Bb just give it half a F chance”
Verse:

You Em get more mileage from a D cheap pair of G sneakers”

Refrain:
Em “Don’t you know about the Am new fashion, honey?
Em All you need are looks and a D whole lotta G money”

It’s Am still rock and G roll to C me
