TITLE: Heart of Rock and Roll
Lyrics and Chords
New York, New York is everything they say
And no place that I'd rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
And all at a quarter to three
/ D7 - - - / / / /
When they play their music, ooh that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really drives them wild
/ C7 - - - / / G7 - - - / C7 - G - /
{Refrain}
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathin'
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
/ C - G - / / F - - - / E - A7 - D - - - /
L.A., Hollywood and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music, that hard rock music
They like it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really kicks 'em in the
{Refrain}
D.C., San Antone and the Liberty Town
Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City,
Seattle, San Francisco, too
Everywhere there's music, real live music
Bands with a million styles
But it's still that same old rock and roll music
That really, really drives 'em wild
{Refrain}
In Cleveland, Detroit
Heart of rock and roll
