Biografía:
Billy Guy, miembro de los Coasters y uno de los mejores barítonos del doo wop y del rhythm and blues de finales de los años 50, nació en Texas el 20 de junio de 1936.
The Coasters comenzó su trayectoria con la publicación del single "Down in Mexico" que en 1956 alcanzó el Top Ten de las listas de éxitos de R&B de Estados Unidos. Este tema fue incluido en la banda sonora de la película Death Proof de Quentin Taratino que es, por cierto, un gran fan de los Coasters.

That is Rock and Roll
[Spoken Intro]
G
In the beginning there was nothing but rock,
Em
Then somebody invented the wheel
C
And things just began to roll
[Verse]
G Em C
Did you ever hear a tenor sax, swingin' like a rusty axe
A7 G A7 D
Honkin' like a frog, down in a hollow log, baby, that is rock and roll
G B7 C
Did you ever hear a guitar twang, Jingy - jingy - jingy - jang
C A7 G E A7 D G
Ever hear those strings doin' crazy things, baby, that is rock and roll
[Chorus]
C G
That ain't no freight train that you hear rollin' down the railroad tracks
A7 D
That's a country boy piano man, Playin' in between the cracks
G B7 C
You say that music's for the birds, and you can't understand the words
A7 G Em
But honey, if you did, you'd really blow your lid
A7 D G
'Cause baby, that is rock and roll
[Sax lead]
[Chorus]
C G
That ain't no freight train that you hear rollin' down the railroad tracks
A7 D
That's a country boy piano man, Playin' in between the cracks
G B7 C
You say that music's for the birds, and you can't understand the words
A7 G Em
But honey, if you did, you'd really blow your lid
[Tag]
A7 D G E
'Cause baby, that is rock and roll in the morning,
A7 D G E
baby that is rock and roll, in the evening,
A7 D G
baby that is rock and roll
