Berry Rides Again

C

[Verse 1]

    C
Well thinking of my schooldays, I remember Maybeline
       C
Used to dance with her all night she was little sweet sixteen
   F                                                       C
Her brother used to chase me, he thought I did, but I never could
         G                        F                      C
I used to call him Little Queenie, his name was Johnny B. Good

[Verse 2]

C
I used to hold her 'till I was older
C
Then I got bolder, her brother used to scold her
 F                                                     C
I left there in the mornin', went back to Memphis, Tennessee
            G                      F                         C
You know her brother never found me and that's all right with me

[Verse 3]

 C
I went to New York City to find what could be found
C
Just for kicks down sixty-six, stopped in L.A. Town
     F                                           C
Yes I went to California just to see what I could see
       G                         F                         C
Well nobody knew just where I was and that's all right with me

          C
You know I met a girl named Carol and her girlfriend sweet Nadine
          C
Played the rock n' roll music, used to kiss me in between
F                                                   C
Roll over Beethoven that happened to be her favorite song
      G                      F                    C
But we never did much rollin', I didn't stay there long

[Verse 5]

C
I used to hold her and try to mold her
C
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
 F                                                     C
I left there in the mornin', went back to Memphis, Tennessee
          G                        F                         C
You know I never saw her face again and that's all right with me
