Written by Chuck Berry
D7 G7 D7 G7 A7 D7 D7 I'm gonna write a little letter, G7 D7 Gonna mail it to my local D.J. G7 It's a rockin' little record D7 I want my jockey to play. G7 Roll over Beethoven, A7 D7 Gotta hear it again today. You know my temperature's risin' And the jukebox blows a fuse, My hearts beatin' rhythm And my soul keeps singing the blues. Roll over Beethoven And tell Tchaikovsky the news. I got a rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues, ooh. I think I caught the arthritis Sittin' down by rhythm reviews. Roll over Beethoven Rockin' in two by two. D7 Well, if you feelin' like it Go get your lover then reel and rock it, G7 Roll it over and move on up D7 Just a trifle further and reel and rock it, G7 Roll it over, roll over Beethoven A7 D7 Rockin' in two by two. G7 D7 G7 D7 G7 A7 D7 D7 Early in the mornin' G7 I'm a givin' you the warnin' D7 Don't you step on my blue suede shoes. G7 Hey, diddle diddle, D7 I'm playing my fiddle, Ain't got nothing to lose. G7 Roll over Beethoven A7 D7 And tell Tchaikovsky the news. You know she wiggles like a glow worm, Dance like a spinnin' top. She's got a crazy partner, Ought to see 'em reel and rock. As long as she got a dime The music will never stop. D7 Roll over Beethoven, Roll over Beethoven, G7 Roll over Beethoven, D7 Roll over Beethoven, A7 Roll over Beethoven, D7 Dig to these rhythm'n'blues.
