N/C A A
I want the people to know that he saved my soul
A
But I still like to listen to the radio
A
They say rock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance
A
I say, "I feel so good I've gotta get up and dance."
D A E
I know what's right, I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it
D A D E A D
All I'm really trying to say is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
A E D A
I feel good every day, 'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
A A
They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane
A A
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
A A
But sometimes people don't understand
N/C D
What's a good boy doing in a rock-n-roll band
A
There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
E D A D E A D
But if you've got a reason tell me to my face, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
A E D A D
There's nothing wrong with what I play, 'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
A D
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that has a beat
A
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that moves my feet
E D A
I don't like none of those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet!
A A
Jesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way
A
There's one more thing I'd like to say
A A
They nailed him to the cross and they laid him in the ground
A D
But they should have known you can't keep a good man down
A
I feel good every day I don't want to lose it
E D A D E A D
All I wanna, all I wanna know is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
A
I've been filled I feel okay
E D
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
E D
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
E D A
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
