The Beatles

The Beatles - Roll Over Beethoven guitar tab

PROPS GO TO: Alan Ambler

Roll Over Beethoven (Chuck Berry)

This is the Beatles cover version as on 'With The Beatles.' I have

produced what I hope is correct, but am more than willing to listen

to any alterations anybody has (email me at Ajambler@btinternet.com).

I was becoming frustrated with the wrong tabs submitted in the olga

and other places, so sat down and worked it out over the course of

a weekend. I thought I ought to share it with the world.

Enjoy

Alan

D riff

I'm going to write a little letter gonna mail it to my local DJ

G riff D riff

It's a rocking little record I want my jockey to play

G riff A riff D riff

Roll over Beethoven, got to hear it again today

You know my temperature's rising and the jukebox blows a fuse

A heart beating rhythm and my soul keeps singing the blues

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

I've got a rocking pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues (oooh!)

I think I caught it off the writer sitting down by the rhythm reviews

Roll over Beethoven, rocking in two by two

D

Well if your feelin' it and like it, then get your lover

And reel it, rock it, roll it over

G riff

Move on up just a trifle further

D

Reel it, rock it, 'n' roll it over

G riff A riff D riff

Roll over Beethoven, rocking in two by two

Well early in the morning I'm a giving you a warning

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey diddle diddle I'll play my fiddle, ain't got nothing to lose

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

You know she winks like a glow worm, dance like a spinning top

She's got a crazy partner, wanna see him reel and rock

As long as she's got a dime the music will never stop

D

Roll over Beethoven
