Elton John - Crocodile Rock

[intro] x2
G  Em  C  D

[verse 1]
     G
I remember when rock was young,
       Bm
me and Susie had so much fun
        C
Holding hands and skimmin' stones  had a
D
old gold Chevy & a place of my own
        G
But the biggest kick I ever got
            Bm
was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
          C
While the other kids were rockin'
                         D
'round the clock we were hoppin' and

boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well

[chorus]
Em
  Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin'
          A7
when your feet just can't keep still
D7
  I never knew me a better time
     G
and I guess I never will.
E
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when
A7
Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7                                 F C F C F C
  the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.

[verse 2]
        G
But 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 & my
old blue jeans but they'll
G
Never kill the thrills we got
        Bm
burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
         C
Learning fast as the weeks went past,
            D
we really thought the
Crocodile Rock would last, well

[chorus]
Em
  Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin'

  I never knew me a better time and I

guess I never will.
