Crocodile rock (Elton John)
Anfang: e F Fis (jew. 1 Schlag) G e C D7
G
I remember when rock was young,
e
Me and Susie had so much fun.
C
Holding hands and skimmin' stones.
D7
Had an old gold chevy and a place of my own.
G
But the biggest kick I ever got,
e
Was doing a thing called the crocodile rock,
C
While the other kids were rockin' round the clock,
D7
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the crocodile rock.
E7 A7
Well, crocodile rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still.
D7 G
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
E7 A7
Oh! Lawdy mama those friday nights, when Susie wore her dresses tight_and
D7 C
The crocodile rock, it was a-ou-ou-out of a-sight.
Laaa, la la la la laaa...
G
But the years went by and rock just died,
e
Susie went and left me for some foreign guy.
C
Long nights cryin' by the record machine.
D7
Dreamin' of my chevy and my old blue jeans.
G
But they'll never kill the thrills we got,
e
Burning up to the crocodile rock,
C
Learning fast as the weeks went past,
D7
We're really thought the crocodile rock would last.
