Status Quo - Rock 'N' Roll (Twelve Gold Bars Volume 2)
Rossi/Frost - Dump Music/Eaton Music
Never thought I'd have a worry for me to be alone
Playing near or far too many times should have known
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it`s up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock `n` Roll and every song
Rock `n` Roll and everyone
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock and Rock `n` Roll
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock keeps rollin` on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end
Looking back it can be funny, it can be very strange
Everything we do, it's funny, we never rearrange
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it`s up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock `n` Roll and every song
Rock `n` Roll and everyone
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock and Rock `n` Roll
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock keeps rollin` on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end
Rushing always in a hurry, and try to give it up
Everything we do it's funny, it's never good enough
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it`s up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock `n` Roll and every song
Rock `n` Roll and everyone
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock and Rock `n` Roll
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock keeps rollin` on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end
Status Quo - Rock 'n Roll - Top of the Pops 1981 (03:54)
Status Quo, TOTP 1981
Originally it's a song released in 1952 by country singer Hank Thompson who also wrote this song. It was famous for the line "I didn't know God made Honky Tonk angels". As you can hear Quo has changed that line a little. A lot of artists have recorded it since then, including the Carter family. Lovely song with only 3 chords I think, perfect for Quo. :o)
