C
G
F
reporters and people ask me, why?
C
G
What is it about rock and roll? I said, well,
nobody likes it but the people.
This is the thing,
C
you know, that everybody always
says it shouldn't last,
G
but it did.
And the reason it did is because of the
great difference in songs all the time.
Came the era of the talking
song and the
A
comedy and still with the rock
and roll rhythm.
And we'll have
G
Nick
Masters now
an example of that of course you
don't need it because you all
G
remember it but there were so many great

poor souls like me in that line
C
G
I knew I was the victim of
somebody's evil plan
Oh, and a little chick looked up and said,

G
You know I'm being framed
D
Man, I don't never do nothing wrong
G
C

But when the judge said
come forth I stumbled
My gun went off and I shot a hole
in my bottle of booze

Man, I don't never do nothing wrong
G
