After 'Tonight' and 'Ecstasy' on _Side 3_ Eric had to *tell* people he's
a rocker?

                             "I'm A Rocker"
                             (Eric Carmen)

Intro:

        4X (band enters 3rd time):

         v   v   v   v     v    v   v   v

Verse 1:

         A [lead guitar repeats intro riff]
        Back beat boogie got a hold on me, make me wanna jump and shout
                                                      D    Dsus4 D
        Twisting like a top, I never want to stop tonight

Pre-chorus:

                   F#m                 C#
        You surely look like a [1, 3: magazine  2: movie queen]
                     D                    A
        And you can move like I've never seen
         C#                    D
        Reelin' and a-rockin, babe
                    B/D#       E   /D  /C#  /B
        Come on and dance with me

Chorus:

        [repeat 2X]:

               A [lead guitar repeats intro riff]
        I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
        I been a-boogieing since I ditched the stroller
                    E        A
        So come on hold me tight
                    D         E    A    [1st repeat: E]
        And we can rock the night away

Verse 2:

        Tight booted teenie with the smiling face
        Make me want to smile and shake
        Come on out today and shimmy like a rattlesnake

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

           D
        I get this feeling when I hear that beat
                 A
        I gotta jump and get up on the table
                          D
        'Cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes
                   B [N.C.]                 E
        I get the message like it came by cable  (Hey!)

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

        E         A               D         E    A
        Hold me tight and we can rock the night away
                     E         A               D         E    A
        So come on, hold me tight and we can rock the night away

        (guitar 2 plays a contrasting part that I can't pick out of
         the near-mono mix)
