                    Old Time Rock And Roll
                       (Jackson / Jones)
           
              verse1:
                                          C
              Just take those old records off the shelf
                                          F
              I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
                                   G 
              Today's music ain't got the same soul
                                    C
              I like that old time rock 'n' roll
    
    
              verse2:
                                         C
              Don't try to take me to a disco
                                       F
              You'll never even get me out on the floor
                                      G
              In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
                                    C             G
              I like that old time rock 'n' roll
    
    
              chorus:
                G                       C  
              Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
                                       F
              That kind of music just soothes the soul
                                     G 
              I reminisce about the days of old
                                  C           G 
              With that old time rock 'n' roll

              verse2:
              Won't go to hear them play a tango
              I'd rather hear some blues or funky soul
              There's only one sure way to get me to go
              Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
    
              chorus:
              Still like that old time rock 'n' roll

              Call me a relic, call me what you will
              Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
              Today's music ain't got the same soul
              I like that old time rock 'n' roll
