[Verse 1]

C                            Em
  What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
          Bb                         F
"Can't ya tell that your tie's too wide?"
C                         Em
  Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
         Bb                  F
"Welcome back to the age of jive."


[Chorus 1]

Em                             Am
   "Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
    Em                          D              G
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
C           Em                Bb
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound.
F               Am             G        C
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.


[Verse 2]

C                            Em
  What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
          Bb                      F
"Can't ya tell that it's out of style?"
C                       Em
  Should I get a set of white wall tires?
         Bb                         F
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?"


[Chorus 2]

Em                        Am
   "Nowadays you can't be too sentimental.
     Em                     D         G
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
C         Em         Bb           F
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk,
     Am             G        C
It's still rock and roll to me.


[Bridge]

C     G                             F
  Oh,   it doesn't matter what they say in the papers,
           E                          Am
Cause it's always been the same old scene.
                G                        F
Well, there's a new band in town but you can't get the sound
       E               Ab
From a story in a magazine,
Eb                     F     G N.C.
Aimed at your average teen.


[Verse 3]

C                     Em
  How about a pair of pink sidewinders
      Bb                     F
And a bright orange pair of pants?
C                              Em
  "Well, you could really be a Beau Brummel baby,
       Bb                    F
If you just give it half a chance."


[Chorus 3]

Em                              Am
   "Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers.
    Em                      D             G
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
C           Em        Bb           F
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
     Am             G        C
It's still rock and roll to me.

C                            Em
  What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
          Bb                         F
"Don't ya know that they're out of touch?"
C                      Em
  Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
       Bb                       F
"If ya are, then you think too much."


[Chorus 4]

Em                           Am
   "Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
 Em                          D           G
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
         C           Em        Bb           F
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
     Am             G        C
It's still rock and roll to me.
