crocodile rock chords
elton john *

G Em C D

G Bm
i remember when rock was young , me and susie had so much fun
C D
holding hands and skimmin’ stones had a old gold chevy & a place of my own
G Bm
but the biggest kick i ever got was doin’ a thing called the crocodile rock
C D
while the other kids were rockin’ ’round the clock we were hoppin’ and

boppin’ to the crocodile rock , well

Em A7
crocodile rockin’ is something shockin’ when your feet just can’t keep still
D7 G
i never had me a better time and i guess i never will .
E A7
oh , lawdy mamma those friday nights when susie wore her dresses tight and
D7 C
the crocodile rockin’ was out of sight

G Em C D

but the years went by and rock just died , susie went & left me for some
foreign guy ,
long nights cryin’ by the record machine dreamin’ of my chevy & my old
blue jeans but they’ll
never kill the thrills we’ve got burnin’ up to the crocodile rock ,
learning fast till the weeks went past , we really thought the crocodile
rock would last , well

Em A7
crocodile rockin’ is something shockin’ when your feet just can’t keep still
D7 G
i never had me a better time and i guess i never will .
E A7
oh , lawdy mamma those friday nights when susie wore her dresses tight and
D7 C
the crocodile rockin’ was out of sight

G Em C D
