TITLE: Rock Around the Clock
Lyrics and Chords


[As recorded by Bill Haley and the Comets]

One, two, three o' clock , four o' clock, rock
Five, six, seven o' clock, eight o' clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o' clock, twelve o' clock, rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

/ E7 - / / / B7 - /

Put your glad rags on and join me, hon'
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one

/ E - / E7 - /

{Refrain}
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

/ A7 - / E - / B7 A7 E - /

When the clock strikes two, and three, and four
If the band slows down we'll yell for more

{Refrain}

When the chimes ring five, and six, and seven
We'll be rockin' up in seventh heav'n

{Refrain}

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too
I'll be going strong and so will you

{Refrain}

When the clock strikes twelve we'll cool off then
Start a-rockin' round the clock again

{Refrain}
