Chuck Berry

[D]Forty years ago there was a Jump[D]in' Jazz Jamaica scene
[D]They could hear these tunes drifting down from New Orlea[A]ns
[D]They put the two together in a thing they called S[G]ka
[D]And sent it off to England [A]in the back of Laurel Aiken's c[D]ar

[D]It was 1964 and the rhythm just [D]wouldn't stop,
[D]People banging o[D]n the door to hear "My boy Lollip[A]op"
[D]Then the 70's came and with it the 2 Tone sc[G]ene...
[D]People shakin' their heads at the rudies on t[A]he record machine [D]

[D]Now the 90's are here with the n[D]ew bands bringin' it to you
[D]Skins and rudies-and even some punk rock, t[A]oo!
[D]But the boys are still playing and the music is coming out l[G]ive!
[D]Down at your jukebox, da[A]ncing on a Saturday ni[D]ght!

[D]In their eyes where does C[D]huck Berry fit?
[D]Well he influences the Ska, [D]that's the long and the short of [A]it
[D]He played his guitar a[D]nd they heard it on the radio [G]
[D]And the rest is history, j[A]ust as everybody kn[D]ows...

[D]Forty years ago there was a Jumpin' J[D]azz Jamaica scene
[D]You can check them rudies dancing at the record machi[A]ne
[D]The style is timeless, w[D]ith Fred Perry and Doc Marten bo[G]ots...
[D]You can keep dancing, j[A]ust as long as you remember your ro[D]ots
[D]You can keep rocking, j[A]ust as long as you remember your ro[D]ots
[D]You can keep dancing, j[A]ust as long as you remember your ro[D]ots
