Intro:
the song starts on Em barre, then just one time Cm (barre), then to Am (barre) then to G
then to D.
You'll need to listen to figure out thw thing with the Cm-change from Em to Am.
Em Am
She said I like just lying on the bed
G D
Beneath the ceiling with her head upon my pillow
D7
There's nothing as I'd rather do
Em Am
And I said I'd rather do it on the couch
G
Or in the kitchen where about
D
You seem so down child
D7
Like nothing could destroy your world
Em
But I never ever wanted to
Am
You never ever let me to
G D
I would but you must wait 'til it gets dark
Em
So what is it that you want me to
Am
I can't make it even good for you
G D
So play me some from 1954
B
Long Before Rock 'n' Roll
Yeah, before Rock 'n' Roll
Before Rock 'n' Roll
between the verses: Em Am G D
Em Am
Well later she came with flowers in her arms
G D
And we can do it in the car my brother owns it
D7
The driver's seat is made for us
Em Am
And I said I'd rather grab a bite to eat
G
There is a diner down the street
D7
Let's take it easy
And join this lovely harmony
Em
But I never ever wanted to
Am
You never ever let me to
G D
I would but you must wait 'til it gets dark
Em
So what is it that you want me to
Am
I can't make it even good for you
G D
So play me some from 1954
B
Long Before Rock 'n' Roll
Yeah, before Rock 'n' Roll
Long Before Rock 'n' Roll
Long Before Rock'n'Roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
during outro play:
Em Am G D
