Huey Lewis - The Heart of Rock and Roll

Originally in C, I play in A

Intro... anywhere there are I7’s, mix in some 7#9’s

First “New York” on the 5, the second more or less on the b3

New York, New York is everything they say and no place that I’d rather be

Where else can you do a half a million things, all at a quarter to three

Vox on the 1 of the chorus

When they play their music, oooh that modern music, they like it with a lot of style

Vox on the b7 of the chord

	D7	G	D	A7
But it’s s	till that same old backbeat rhythm that re	ally really d	rives ‘em w	ild

	G	D
They say the h	eart of rock and roll is still	beating

	G	D
And from	what I’ve seen I bel	ieve ‘em

	C
Now the o	ld boy may be barely breathing

	B	E
But the	heart of rock and roll,	heart of rock and roll is

	A7
Still	beating

L.A., Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip is something everyone should see

Neon nights and the pretty pretty girls all dressed so scantily

When they play their music, that hard rock music, they like it with a lot of flash

	D7	G	D7	A7
But it’s	still that same old backbeat rhythm that r	eally really kic	ks ‘em in the

	G	D
They say the h	eart of rock and roll is still	beating

	G	D
And from	what I’ve seen I bel	ieve ‘em

	C
Now the o	ld boy may be barely breathing

	B	E
But the	heart of rock and roll,	heart of rock and roll is

	A7
Still	beating

Johnny, ow!

Solo

D.C., San Antone, and the liberty town, Boston and-a Baton Rouge

Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco too

Everywhere there’s music, real live music, bands with a million styles

	D7	G	D	A7
But it’s s	till that same old rock and roll music that re	ally really d	rives ‘em w	ild

	G	D
Th-th-th-th-they say the h	eart of rock and roll is still	beating

	G	D
And from	what I’ve seen I bel	ieve ‘em

	C
Now the o	ld boy may be barely breathing

	B	E
But the	heart of rock and roll,	heart of rock and roll is

Still	beating

In Cleveland

Detroit

Uh, heart of rock and roll
