Joe Cocker – Key of D – 1-4-5  (D-G-A)
[ 1 ]  Just take those old records off the shelf.  I’ll sit and listen to them [ 4 ]  by myself.  Today’s music ain’t [ 5 ]  got the same soul.  I like that old-time [ 1 ]  rock ‘n’ roll.

Don’t try to take me to a disco.  You’ll never even get me out on the floor.  In 10 minutes I’ll be late for the door.  I like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll.

[CHORUS]   Still like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll.  That kind of music just soothes my soul.  I reminisce about the days of old.  With that old-time rock ‘n’ roll.

Won’t go to hear them play a tango.  I’d rather hear some blues or funky old soul  There’s only one sure way to get me to go.  Start playing that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Call me a relic, call me what you will.  Say I’m old-fashioned say I am over the hill.  Today’s music ain’t got the same soul.  I like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll.
