With The Beatles (1963)

intro Chuck Berry en D

G  D  G A D  w/ (6,7) partout

           D
Well gonna write a little letter
      G                    D
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
       G
It's a rockin' rhythm record
                    D
I want my jockey to play
     G                       A               D
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues, woo
I think I'm rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven, rockin' in two by two

                  D
  Well, if you're feel it and like it
  Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
                   G
  Roll it over and move on up just
                       D
  A trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over
       G               A                 D
  Roll over Beethoven, rockin' in two by two

D  G  D  G  D  G A D  w/ solo

Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you the warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
Oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop

  Roll over Beethoven
  Roll over Beethoven
  Roll over Beethoven
  Roll over Beethoven
               A                                     G  D! D (reste)
  Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
