       D
I remember '62
I was sixteen and so were you
              Em              A
And we lived next door,
              D
On the avenue.
 D
Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too;
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes,
             Em           A
And we never knew
                D
What life held in store.
             Em           F#m    G       A    D
We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more.

 G                 F#m
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
 G                             D
And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
        Em        F#m      G                      A
And listening to those songs on the radio;
 G                      F#m
I was yours and you were mine
 G                  D
But that was once upon a time,
                Em             F#m     G     A  D
Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore.

 D
Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door,
And Mary's down at the record store,
                  Em         A
They don't want to be...
            D
around us no more.
 D
"Golden Oldies" but we hardly speak
Too busy running to a different beat
             Em                          A
Hard to understand, we were once like them.
           Em                F#m        G                 A    D
How I wish we could find those Rock 'n' Roll days again.

 G                 F#m
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
 G                             D
And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
        Em        F#m      G                      A
And listening to those songs on the radio;
 G                      F#m
I was yours and you were mine
 G                  D
But that was once upon a time,
                Em             F#m     G     A  D
Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore.

 G                     F#m
I was yours and you were mine
 G                     D
That was once upon a time,
                Em             F#m     G
Now we never seem to Rock and Roll...
              Em              F#m          G     A  D
We just never seem to Rock and Roll anymore
