F#m

D D

I remember '62, I was sixteen and so were you

Em A D

And we lived next door, on the avenue.

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too,

Blue jeans and blue suede shoes,

Em A

And we never knew

What life held in store.

Em F#m G A D

We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more.

Chorus:

G F#m

We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

G D

And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did

Em F#m G A

And listening to those songs on the radio.

G F#m

I was yours and you were mine

G D

But that was once upon a time,

Em F#m G A D

Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore.

Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door,

And Mary's down at the record store,

Em A D

They don't want to be, around us no more.

Golden oldies but we hardly speak

Too busy runing to a different beat,

Em A D

hard to understand, we were once like them

Em F#m G A D

How I wish we could find those "Rock "n" Roll" days again.

Chorus:

G F#m

We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids

G D

And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did

Em F#m G A

And listening to those songs on the radio;

G F#m

I was yours and you were mine

G D

But that was once upon a time,

Em F#m G A D

Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore.

G F#m

I was yours and you were mine....

G D

But that was once upon a time,

Em F#m G

Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll

Em F#m G A D

Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll........ anymore.
