You'll need to listen to figure out thw thing with the Cm-change from Em to Am.

Em                   Am
She said I like just lying on the bed
            G                             D
Beneath the ceiling with her head upon my pillow
        D7
There's nothing as I'd rather do
Em                    Am
And I said I'd rather do it on the couch
          G
Or in the kitchen where about
            D
You seem so down child
     D7
Like nothing could destroy your world

Em
But I never ever wanted to
Am
You never ever let me to
G                                      D
I would but you must wait 'til it gets dark
Em
So what is it that you want me to
Am
I can't make it even good for you
G                       D
So play me some from 1954
B
Long Before Rock 'n' Roll

Yeah, before Rock 'n' Roll

Before Rock 'n' Roll


between the verses: Em Am G D


Em                       Am
Well later she came with flowers in her arms
           G                           D
And we can do it in the car my brother owns it
    D7
The driver's seat is made for us
Em                    Am
And I said I'd rather grab a bite to eat
           G
There is a diner down the street
              D7
Let's take it easy

And join this lovely harmony


Em
But I never ever wanted to
Am
You never ever let me to
G                                      D
I would but you must wait 'til it gets dark
Em
So what is it that you want me to
Am
I can't make it even good for you
G                       D
So play me some from 1954
B
Long Before Rock 'n' Roll

Yeah, before Rock 'n' Roll

Long Before Rock 'n' Roll

Long Before Rock'n'Roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
