Intro: G C D C
G Am
She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
D C
So we grew up together,
G
My mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
C
But whenever I would cry
D
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
C G
With a rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing...
Chorus:
G Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na it'll be alright
C D G
Sha na na na na na na na na na now just hold on tight
(Sing it to me mama)
G Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na it'll be alright
C D
Sing it sweet and clear, oh Mama let me hear that old
C G
Rock and roll lullaby
Solo: G Am C D C G
G Am
We made it through the lonely days
But Lord the nights were long
D
And we'd dream of better moments
C G
When mama sang a song
G
Now I can't recall the words at all
C
It don't make sense to try
D
Cause I just knew lots of love came through
C G
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing...
G Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na it'll be alright
C D G
Sha na na na na na na na na na now just hold on tight
(I can hear ya mama)
G Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na it'll be alright
C D C G
Nothin' eased my sole like the sound of a good ol' rock and roll lullaby
Final: G Am C D C G
