Chuck Berry by Toasters




                          Chuck Berry






Standard Tuning
Ska strumming except for the the last time "You can keep dancing..." 

D				D
Forty years ago there was a Jumpin' Jazz Jamaica scene 
D							A
They could hear these tunes drifting down from New Orleans 
D						  G
They put the two together in a thing they called Ska 
D			   A			          D	
And sent it off to England in the back of Laurel Aiken's car 

D				D
It was 1964 and the rhythm just wouldn't stop, 
D		D				 A
People banging on the door to hear "My boy Lollipop" 
D					    G
Then the 70's came and with it the 2 Tone scene...
D			         	     A	               D
People shakin' their heads at the rudies on the record machine 

D				D
Now the 90's are here with the new bands bringin' it to you 
D					   A     
Skins and rudies-and even some punk rock, too!
D                                                           G
But the boys are still playing and the music is coming out live! 
D                       A                     D
Down at your jukebox, dancing on a Saturday night! 

*piano solo same as verse*

D                         D
In their eyes where does Chuck Berry fit? 
D                           D                                A
Well he influences the Ska, that's the long and the short of it 
D                     D                             G
He played his guitar and they heard it on the radio 
D                         A                  D
And the rest is history, just as everybody knows... 

D                                    D
Forty years ago there was a Jumpin' Jazz Jamaica scene 
D                                                    A
You can check them rudies dancing at the record machine 
D                       D                               G
The style is timeless, with Fred Perry and Doc Marten boots... 
D                      A                                  D
You can keep dancing, just as long as you remember your roots
D                      A                                  D 
You can keep rocking, just as long as you remember your roots
D                      A                                  D 
You can keep dancing, just as long as you remember your roots
