After 'Tonight' and 'Ecstasy' on _Side 3_ Eric had to tell people he's
a rocker?

Verse 1:
A [lead guitar repeats intro riff]
Back beat boogie got a hold on me, make me wanna jump and shout
Twisting like a top, I never want to stop toni[D]ght[Dsus4][D]
Pre-chorus:
You surely [F#m]look like a [1, 3: m[C#]agazine 2: movie queen]
And you can m[D]ove like I've never s[A]een
R[C#]eelin' and a-rockin, b[D]abe
Come on and [B/D#]dance with [E]me[/D][/C#][/B]
Chorus:
[repeat 2X]:
A [lead guitar repeats intro riff]
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I been a-boogieing since I ditched the stroller
So come on h[E]old me ti[A]ght
D E A [1st repeat: E]
And we can rock the night away
Verse 2:
Tight booted teenie with the smiling face
Make me want to smile and shake
Come on out today and shimmy like a rattlesnake
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
I g[D]et this feeling when I hear that beat
I gotta j[A]ump and get up on the table
'Cause when that r[D]hythm and blues electrifies my shoes
B [N.C.] E
I get the message like it came by cable (Hey!)
[guitar solo over chorus chords]
[repeat bridge]
[repeat verse 1 and pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
[E]Hold me ti[A]ght and we can r[D]ock the ni[E]ght a[A]way
So come on, h[E]old me tig[A]ht and we can ro[D]ck the nig[E]ht aw[A]ay

the near-mono mix)
