Rockin´ As The Night Rolls On

 

Written by John Stewart

 

'Rockin´ As The Night Rolls On' is on "Wires from the Bunker", Appleseed Recordings, 2000, and Wrasse Records, same year.  The songs on the CD were recorded ca. between 1983 and 1985, though. 

Fast little number – lots of fun to play!

 

 

(G) (D) (Em)(Em) (C) (G)

Friday night is breaking,

And I’m (C)working till a quarter to (G)five.

Gonna give the (G/B)world fair (Em)warning,

We’re going to (Am7)celebrate being a(D)live.

 

(G)Out on the misty (G7)morning

When the (C)last brave star is(A7short)gone,

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song,

Just (G)rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on.(D)[seven fast downstrokes]

 

(G)Hot rods out on the highway,

(C) A caravan gone (G)mad,

Annie on the (G/B)seat be(Em)side me,

It’ll be the (Am7)best night we ever (D)had.

 

And (G)on to the misty (G7)morning

When the (C)straights all rise at (A7short)dawn,

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song,

Just (G)rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on.(D)[seven fast downstrokes]

 

(G)Rockin’ as the night rolls on,

Rockin’ as the night rolls (D)on.

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song,

Just (G)rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on. (D)

(G)  (G7)  (C)  (G)   (G/B) (Em)  (Am7)  (D)  (G)  (G7)  (C)  (A7)

 

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song,

Just (G)rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on.(D)[seven fast downstrokes]

 

Aw, (G)Annie, can you drown a heartache?

(C)This boy’s going to (G)try.

Five days (G/B)workin’ for the (Em)weekend

For the (Am7)thrills that you just can’t (D)buy.

 

Then it’s (G)on to the misty (G7)morning,

Oh, (C)Annie, when we’re drained and (A7short)gone,

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song,

Just (G)rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on.(D)[seven fast downstrokes]

 

(G)Rockin’ as the night rolls on,

Rockin’ as the night rolls (D)on.

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song,

Just (G)rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on.(D)[seven fast downstrokes]

(G)Rockin’ as the night rolls on,

Rockin’ as the night rolls (D)on.

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song, (hold)

Weeelll, we´re just (G)rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on

 

Rockin’ as the night rolls on,

Rockin’ as the night rolls (D)on.

You (G)can’t go (D)wrong with a (Em)rock ‘n roll (C)song,

(G)Rockin’ as the (D)night rolls (G)on
