Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
What's  the matter with the clothes  I'm wearing?
 "Can't You tell  that your tie's too wide?"
Maybe  I should bye some old  tab collar?
 "Welcome back  to the age of jive.
Where  have you been hiddin' out  lately, honey?
 You can't  dress trashy till you spend  a lot of money"
Everybody talking  'bout the new  sound.
Funny,  but it's still  rock and roll  to me.
What's  the matter with the car  I'm driving?
 Can't tell  it's out of style?"
Should  I get a set of white  wall tires?
 "Are you gonna  cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays  you cant't be too  sentimental.
 Your best  bet's a true baby, blue  Continental."
Hot  funny, cool  punk even  if it's old  junk,
 it's still  rock and roll  to me.
Oh  it doesn't matter what they say  in the papaers,
 'cause it's always  been the same old scene.
 There's a new  band in town but you can't  get the sound
 from a story  in a magazine.
aimed  at your average teen.
How  about a pair of pink  sidewinders
 and a bright  orange pair of pants?
"Well,  you could really be a Beau  Brummel baby,
 if you just  give it half a chance.
 Don't waste your money on a new  set of speakers.
 You get  more milage from a cheaper  pair of sneakers."
Next  phase, new  wave, dance  trace, anyways
 it's still  rock and roll  to me.
What's  the matter with the crowd  I'm seeing?
 "Don't know  that they're out of tough?"
Should  I try to be a straight  'A' student?"
 If You  are, then you think too much."
"Don't  you know about the new  fashion, honey?
All  you need are looks and a whole  lota money."
 It's the next  phase, new  wave, dance  trace; anyways
 it's still  rock and roll  to me.
Everybody's talking  about the new  sound.
 Funny, but it's still  rock and roll to me.
