Raised On Rock

[Verse 1]
A
I remember as a child I used to hear
A
Music that they played Lord with a feel
A
Some call it folk, some call it soul
                                  C
But people let me tell you it was rock and roll


[Chorus]
A                                             D
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
       A                                     C
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio


[Verse 2]
A
Listening to the music that my idols made
A
I knew every single record the DJ's played
A
A honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode
D                            A
Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood


[Chorus]
                                              C
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
       A                                             C        D
I was born to love the beat, I was made for rock and ro-oh-oh-oll


[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A
Some thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
                           C
But the younger generation knew it would last
A
Time's gone by, the beat goes on
                                   C
But every time I hear it, Lord, it takes me home


[Chorus]
A                                        C    D
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
       A                                     C
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio


[Verse 4]
A                           C
Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth
D                         A
Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt
                                 C
My papa loved to listen to those country songs
      D                      C       D
While I was in the back room rocking on


[Chorus]
A                                             C
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
       A                                             C
I was born to love the beat, I was made for rock and ro-oh-oh-oll


[Outro]
A                                             C
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
      A
I was born to love the beat, I was made for rock and roll
                                         C    A
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
