Intro: G  C  D  C  G 

G 
She was just sixteen and all alone 
C               Am 
whem I came to be 
D                      C 
so we grew up together 
                    G 
My momma child and me 

When things were bad 

and she was scared 
        C 
but whenever I would cry 
Am                       D 
she'd calm my fears and dry my tears 
             C              G 
with that rock'n'roll lullaby 

and she'd sing 

Sha la la la la la la la la 
        Am 
It will be all right 
C                   D 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
                    G 
Let's just hold on tight 
Sing it to me mama 
My my my my mama 
Sing it sweet and clear 
          C 
sing it sweet and clear 
      D 
oh, momma let me hear 
            C       D      G 
That old rock'n'roll lullaby

G 
we´ve made it through 
the lonely days 
C                         Am 
But Lord the nigths were long 
        D 
and we dreamed of better mornings 
C           D        G 
when momma sing her song 

Now I can't recall the words at all 
C                           Am 
And it don't make sense to try 
         D 
'Cause I just fell lots of love came through 
      C             D      G 
That old rock'n'roll Lullaby 

and she'd sing 
G 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
         Am 
It will be alright 
C                     D 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
             G 
Let's just hold on tight 
Sing it to me momma 
my momma ma ma 
C 
Sing it sweet and clear oh 
D 
Momma let me hear that 
 C             D      G 
Old rock'n'roll Lullaby 
G 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
        Am 
It will be alright 
C                  D 
Sha la la la la la la la la
