Rock'n'Roll With Me

Lyrics and music by David Bowie

 

INTRO:  C  Em  F  C
        C  Em  F  C


    G7              Em  G    C
You always were the one that knew
     G7              Em    G  C
They sold us for the likes of you
  A             A7     Dm   Dm7
I always wanted new surroundings
G                        C           D7            Dm  G7
A room to rent while the lizards lay crying in the heat
C           D7     Dm         G7
Trying to remember who to meet
E              E7           Am   Am/G
I would take a foxy kind of stand
      Dsus4             D           G7    G
While tens of thousands found me in demand


CHORUS 1:
C        Em       F         C
When you rock and roll with me
C      Em       F      C
No one else I'd rather be
C      Em       F         C
Nobody here can do it for me
       D           G                 C   Em F     C
I'm in tears again when you rock and roll    with me


BREAK:  C  Em  F  C


G7                Em  G   C
Gentle hearts are counted down
    G7              Em        G      C
The queue is out of sight and out of sounds
A              A7                    Dm   Dm7
Me, I'm out of breath, but not quite doubting
G                               C
I've found a door which lets me out


CHORUS 2:
C        Em       F         C
When you rock and roll with me
C      Em       F      C
No one else I'd rather be
C           Em       F         C
Nobody down here can do it for me
D                  G                 C   Em F     C
I'm in tears again when you rock and roll    with me


BREAK:  C  Em  F  C  
        C  Em  F  C
        D  G


CHORUS 3:
C        Em       F         C
When you rock and roll with me
C      Em       F      C
No one else I'd rather be
C           Em       F         C
Nobody down here can do it for me
C        Em       F         C
When you rock and roll with me
C        Em             F                  C 
When you rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll with me
C      Em       F                  C
No one else I'd rather, I'd rather be
C      Em            F         C
Nobody down here can do it for me
C      Em     F      C
I'm in tears, I'm in tears
C        Em       F         C
When you rock and roll with me
