Old Time Rock And Roll Chords

   
This is rhythm only. I haven't got the solos which are played on Harmonica I think.

Chords
C           F           G    
A 10 10 12  A 15 15 17  A 5 5 7  
E 8  8  8   E 13 13 13  E 3 3 3

(In usual blues type rhythm, listen to the song for exact timing.)

Each verse/chorus etc... ends with a bass and 2nd guitar going down to G again for a
bar. Listen to the tune to see what I mean.

verse 1
                             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

verse 2
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
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Chorus
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   
With that old time rock 'n' roll

Verse 3
C
Won't go to hear them play a tango

I'd rather hear some blues or funky soul
                        G
There's only one sure way to get me to go
                       C
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
