Chords

F....Dm7....Bb....C7....F....Dm7....Bb....C7

...........F...............................................................Dm7
I remember when rock was young, me and Suzie had so much fun
.................Bb...........................................................C7
Holding hands and skimming stones, had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
................F.............................................................Dm7
But the biggest kick I ever got, was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
...................Bb
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
..................C7
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

...........Dm7
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
.......................G7
When your feet just can't keep still
C7.............................................................F
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Dm7
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
..............G7
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
....................C7...............................................Eb.Bb.Eb.Bb.Eb.Bb
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

..................F............................................................Dm7
But the years went by and the rock just died, Suzie went and left me for some foreign guy
Bb...........................................................................C7
Long nights crying by the record machine, dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
......................F...............................................................Dm7
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got, burning up to the Crocodile Rock
..................Bb................................................................C7
Learning fast as the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
