Rock and Roll My Baby
by Jerry Jeff Walker
G C(add 9) G
Take it from me it's a mystery, where all my money goes
C(add 9) G D
How I make it week to week, only God almighty knows
G C(add 9 G
Tonight's the night, I make it right, I'm fixin' to go into town
C(add 9) G D G
Buy all the drinks, kiss all the girls, spread my charming self around
Chorus:
C G C G
Tonight I wanna rock and roll my baby, maybe dance a dance or two with yours
C G A G/B
Crowd up to the bar and order whiskey then I want to hang out till they close
C D (or just bass notes from G/B thru this D)
the doors
C G
Tonight my soul is young and wild and frisky,
C G
I can't stop this urge I've got to laugh
C G D G
Now if you find my attitude offensive, well honey that's just too damn bad
Well I've seen it in the papers, how Jerry Jeff is getting old
He's an aging desperado, too old now to rock and roll
Well at least I know I was one, not a writer talkin' to the wall
In fact I want it written down here, I lived long enough to do it all
Chorus
I'll get to feeling so damn good, I'll have to have a new tattoo
I'll catch a cab and go uptown and get some new taps put on my shoes
I have to go to Antone's joint to get right inside some funky blues
Then wind up dancing at the Spoke and sittin' in 'til way past two
Chorus
