ABOUT THE SONG:
Another great performence by Quo...much simular to the Beatles version combined

Berry - Jewel) Guitar intro: E|----------10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13p1210----------| H|----10-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------13p12p10-| G|-11------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------| H|-------------------------------10-10-10-| G|-12-10-------11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-| D|-------12-10-12-12-12-12-12-12----------| A|----------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------| G E|-10-10-10-10-10-------------10-10-10-10-------------| H|-10-10-10-10-10-12-10-------10-10-10-10-12-10-------| G|----------------12-10-11----------------12-10-11----| D|-------------------------12----------------------12-| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| D E|-----------------------------------------| H|----10-10b----10-10b----10-10b----10-10b-| G|----10-10b----10-10b----10-10b----10-10b-| D|-12--------12--------12--------12--------| A|-----------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------| A E|-10-10-10-10-12-13-12-10--10-10-10-12-13-12-10-| H|-10-10-10-10-12-13-12-10--10-10-10-12-13-12-10-| G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| D E|-------------------------------------| H|-13-12-10----10-10----10-10----10-10-| G|-13-12-10----10-10----10-10----10-10-| D|----------12-------12-------12-------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| D I'm gonna write a little letter G D Gonna mail it to my local DJ G Yeah, it's a rockin' little record D I want my jockey to play A D Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today D You know my temperature's risin G D And the jukebox blowin a fuse G My heart's beatin' rhythm D And my soul keeps singin' the blues A D Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news D I got a rockin' pneumonia G D I need a shot of rhythm and blues G I got the rollin' arthritis D Sittin' down at the rhythm review G A D -
