It's Still Rock 'n' Roll to Me
(Billy Joel)
 
 
[Intro]
 
| D    | D    | D    | D    |
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
D                            F#m
  What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
          C                         G
"Can't ya tell that your tie's too wide?"
D                         F#m
  Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
         C                  G
"Welcome back to the age of jive."
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
F#m                            Bm
   "Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
    F#m                         E              A
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
D           F#m               C
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound.

G               Bm             A        D
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                            F#m
  What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
          C                      G
"Can't ya tell that it's out of style?"
D                       F#m
  Should I get a set of white wall tires?
         C                         G
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?"
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
F#m                       Bm
   "Nowadays you can't be too sentimental.
     F#m                    E         A
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
D         F#m        C           G
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk,
     Bm             A        D
It's still rock and roll to me.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
D     A                             G
  Oh,   it doesn't matter what they say in the papers,
           F#                         Bm
Cause it's always been the same old scene.
                A                        G
Well, there's a new band in town but you can't get the sound
       F#              Bb
From a story in a magazine,
F                     G     A N.C.
Aimed at your average teen.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
D                     F#m
  How about a pair of pink sidewinders
      C                     G
And a bright orange pair of pants?
D                              F#m
  "Well, you could really be a Beau Brummel baby,
       C                    G
If you just give it half a chance."
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
F#m                             Bm
   "Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers.
    F#m                     E             A
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
D           F#m       C           G
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
     Bm             A        D
It's still rock and roll to me.
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
A     G     F#    Bm
A     G     F#7
Bb    F    G     A N.C.
                  Ooooooooh
 
[Verse 4]
 
D                            F#m
  What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
          C                         G
"Don't ya know that they're out of touch?"
D                      F#m
  Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
       C                       G
"If ya are, then you think too much."
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
F#m                          Bm
   "Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
 F#m                         E           A
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
         D           F#m       C           G
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
     Bm             A        D
It's still rock and roll to me.
 
 
[Ending]
 
D  N.C.     F#m N.C.           C  N.C.
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound.
G  N.C.         A     N.C.                 D9
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.
