1. I remember '62,

C

I was sixteen and so were you,

Dm C

and we lived next door, on the avenue.

C

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too,

C

blue jeans and blue suede shoes,

Dm C

and we never knew what life held in store.

Dm Em F G C

We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more.

F Em

We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids,

F C

and rock 'n' roll was all we did,

Dm Em F G - G7

and listening to those songs on the radio.

F Em

I was yours and you were mine,

F C

but that was once upon a time,

Dm Em F G C

now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore.

C

2. Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door,

C

and Mary's down at the record store,

Dm C

they don't want to be around us no more.

C

"Golden Oldies", but we hardly speak,

C

too busy running to a different beat,

Dm C

hard to understand, we were once like them.

Dm Em F G C

How I wish we could find those rock 'n' roll days again.

F Em

We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids,

F C

and rock 'n' roll was all we did,

Dm Em F G - G7

and listening to those songs on the radio.

F Em

I was yours and you were mine,

F C

but that was once upon a time,

Dm Em F G C

now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore.

F Em

+ I was yours and you were mine,

F C

but that was once upon a time,

Dm Em F - Dm - Em - F

now we never seem to rock 'n' roll,

Dm Em F - - - - - - C
