E
Well, I'mma write a little letter,

I'm gonna mail it to my local DJ.
             A
Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record
                     E
I want my jockey to play.
     B                                       E
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.


(same chords progression)

You know, my temperature's risin',
the jukebox blowin' a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
and my soul keep a-singin' the blues.
Roll over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm revue.
Roll over Beethoven, they rockin' in two by two.


[Bridge]

E
Well, if you feel you like it
E
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
E                A
Roll it over and move on up just
A                    E
a trifle further and reel and rock it, roll it over.
E    B
Roll over Beethoven, rockin' in two by two.


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle,
Ain't got nothin' to lose.
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.

You know she wiggle like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin' top.
She got a crazy partner,
You oughta see 'em reel and rock.
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop.


[Outro]
(same chords)

Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.
