Verse 1
G 
Em 
was seventeen and fifty -eight
D 
And on Friday night
G 
he would ring up his date
D 
G 
She'd run out to the sound
Em 
of his beeping horn
Am 
F 
Hanging out in the date
C 
Rock and roll was first born
G 
His name was Eddie
Em 
But they called him the Grease
D 
With his black leather jacket
G 
He gained control of the street
D 
G 
Had his ci garette packet
Em 
Rolled up  in his sleep
Am 
F 
When they said he was through
C 
He just could not believe it
G 
Bread in the grease, oh,
bread in the grease
C 
Still living the days
D 
when he was king of the streets

Bread in the grease,

He's the radio blast
Em 
in all the hits of the past
Am

He smiles as he thinks
C 
of how they said it won't last
G 
But he's fooling himself
Em 
cause everywhere that he goes
D 
People laugh behind
G 
and they turn up their nose
D 
G 
But he still believes
Em 
that he's God's gift to the girls
Am 
F 
He winks in the mirror
C 
as he's combing his curls
G 
He's dead in the grease
or red in the grease
C 
Still living the days
D 
when he was king of the streets

Headed on Greece,
boy's down on his knees
F

He doesn't look good for the Greeks

Em 
Am 
D 
G 
He's been down and knows
Em 
that he's been a fool
D 
Now he's found a new way
G 
of keeping his cool
D 
G 
With all the fifties revivals,
Em 
he's making a scene
Am

If you wait long enough,
C 
you can live out your dream

Like where he belongs        on the street

No, no, no, no

Steppin' and slidin'
G 
Em 
Am
