   7    7   7   7    7   -7    -6   -6b  -6b  -5
What's the mat-ter with the clothes I'm wear-ing

  -5   -5  -6   -6   -6   -6    7   -6b
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide

 7   7 7    7    7   -7   -6 -6b -6b  -5
May-be I should buy some old tab col-lars

 -5  -5   -6  -6  -6  -6  7  -6b
Wel-come back to the age of jive

  5     5   -5  -5   -6 -6   7   -6b  5
Where have you been hid-in' out late-ly, 

 -5 -6b 5    5     5     -5  -5
hon-ey you can't dress trash-y 

 -6   -6    7 -5 -6b  5  -5 -6b
till you spend a lot of mon-ey

 7  7  7   7   -6  -6    -6   -5  -6   -6
Ev-ry-bod-y's talk-in' 'bout the new sound

-6b -6b -6b  -5b  -6b   -5   -4   5  -4 -4
Fun-ny, but it's still rock and roll to me


VERSE 2 SAME AS 1 
What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
"Can't you tell that it's out of style?"
Should I get a set of while wall tires?
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me

-7  -7   -7  -7  -7  -7  -7
Oh, it does-n't mat-ter what 

  7   -7  7 -6b  7  -7
they say in the pa-pers

   -7   -7  -8  -7   -7   7   -7   7    -7
'Cause it's al-ways been the same old scene

   7    7  -7  -7  -7  -7
There's a new band in town

 -7  -7  -7    -7  7    7     7  7
But you can't get the sound from a 

 -8 -7 -7 7 -7  7   7    -6  
Sto-ry in a ma-ga-zine aimed 

-6  -5  -6 -5  -5  -5
at your av-er-age teen

VERSE 3 same as 1 
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
"You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance.
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me


Verse 4 same as 1
What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
"Don't you know that they're out of touch?"
Should I try to be a straight `A' student?
"If you are then you think too much.
Don't you know about the new fashion honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me


7  7  7   7   -6  -6    -6   -5  -6   -6
Ev-ry-bod-y's talk-in' 'bout the new sound

-6b -6b -6b  -5b  -6b   -5   -4   5  -4 -4
Fun-ny, but it's still rock and roll to me
