        << Back to Status Quo Song List
Version 1
            This is rhythm only. I haven't got the solos which are played on Harmonica I think.
Chords:
C           F           G    
A 10 10 12  A 15 15 17  A 5 5 7  
E 8  8  8   E 13 13 13  E 3 3 3
(In usual blues type rhythm, listen to the song for exact timing.)
Each verse/chorus etc. ends with a bass and 2nd guitar going down to G again for a
bar. Listen to the tune to see what I mean.
[Verse 1]
                             C
Just take those old records off the shelf
                           F
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
                     G
Today's music ain't got the same soul
                      C
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
[Verse 2]
G                         C
Don't try to take me to a disco
                         F
You'll never even get me out on the floor
                         G 
In ten minutes I'll be leavin' for the door
                     C
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
G                        C
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
                         F
That kind of music just soothes the soul
                      G
I reminisce about the days of old
                   C   
With that old time rock 'n' roll
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
G                            C
Won't go to hear them play a tango
                              F
I'd rather hear some blues or funky soul
                             G
There's only one sure way to get me to go
                       C
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
G                        C
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
                        F
That kind of music just soothes the soul
                      G
I reminisce about the days of old
                   C   
With that old time rock 'n' roll
[Solo]
[Verse 4]
G                        C
Call me a relic, call me what you will
                               F
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
                    G
Today's music ain't got the same soul
                     C
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
G                        C
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
                        F
That kind of music just soothes the soul
                      G
I reminisce about the days of old
                   C   
With that old time rock 'n' roll
G                        C
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
                        F
That kind of music just soothes the soul
                      G
I reminisce about the days of old
                   C   
With that old time rock 'n' roll
