Crocodile Rock
Elton John & Bernie Taupin


Intro: G

    G
I remember when rock was young
       Bm
Me and Susie had so much fun
        C
Holdin' hands and skimmin' stones
       D
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
        G
But the biggest kick we ever got
            Bm
Was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
          C
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock
        D
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock

          Em
Well Croco--dile Rockin' is somethin' shockin'
          A7
When your feet just can't keep still
D7                                       G
  I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
E
Oh, lawdy lawdy, those Friday nights
     A7
When Susie wore her dresses tight
         D7                          C
And Croco--dile Rockin' was o-o-outa-si-i-ight

G               Em              C               D
La, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la

         G
Well the years went by and rock just died
Bm
Susie went and left me for some foreign guy
C
Long nights cryin' by the record machine
D
Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
             G
But they'll never kill the thrills we got
         Bm
Burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock
         C
Learnin' fast as the weeks went past
          D
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
