My Daddy was a rock and roller by Jason Collett
Album: Pony Tricks
For some of the changes from E to F#m he
does a walk from E - F - F#m.
I couldn't find the tab or lyrics
for this song anywhere so I'm not
sure about all the lyrics but I think
it's close. This song is off the Pony Tricks
album which is a compilation of Collett songs
from other albums, such a good album! Comments are welcome, enjoy!
Intro:
[D] [A] [E] [D]
[A]T Shirt rolled up to his shoulders
[E]6 inch side burns and a pompadour
[F#m]A 2 pack habit pushing a baby stroller
[D]My daddy was a rock n roller
[A]Drove used cars built them outta used parts
[E]Kept them in the front yard up on blocks
[F#m]A grease junkie with a weekend job
[D]Couldn't care less about what the neighbors thought
[A]He really knew how to stretch a dollar
[E]Sneaking us kids into the drive in theatre
[F#m]Four on the floor underneath the covers
[D]My daddy was a rock n roller
[A]My daddy was a rock n roll[E]er
[F#m]My daddy was a rock n roller[D]
[A] [E] [D]
[A]He dodged the war cuz he was no body's soldier
[E]He settled out here just north of the border
[F#m]A union man till the company sold out
[D]My daddy was a rock n roller
[A]He grew up but he never got older
[E]A wise cracker straight shooter
[F#m]Just like lenny off of law and order
[D]My daddy was a rock n roller
[A]My daddy was a rock n rolle[E]r
[F#m]My daddy was a rock n roller[D]
[A]He never kissed no ass unless it was my mothers[E]
[F#m]My daddy was a rock n roller[D]
Outro:
