E
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
E
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
E
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
E
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.

(Riff 1)
A7 E
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
B7 A7
Everybody in the whole cell block
E
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Bb
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Eb
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Bb
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Good
F
Who never learned to read or write at all
Bb
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell

Bb Eb
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny, go go
Bb F Eb
Go Johnny go, go, go go
Johnny B. Good

His mama told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear your playing music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday you will be in lights saying Johnny B. Good"

Just a little talk with Jesus

(D)I (G) once was lost in (G7) sin but (C) Jesus took me in,
And (G) then a little light from heaven filled my soul (C)(G)
(D)He (G) bathed my heart in (G7) love and (C) wrote my name above,
(G) Just a little talk with (D) Jesus made me (G) whole.

(Chorus)(G) Now let us have a little talk with (G7) Je(G)sus
Let us tell Him about our (G7)trou(G)bles
He will (D) hear our faintest cry and He will (G) answer by and by
Now when you feel a prayer wheel(G7) tur(G)ning
Then you'll know a little fire is (G7)bur(G)ning
You will (C) find a little talk with (D)Jesus makes it (G) right

I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
I go to Him in prayer,
He knows my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Just Because

Standard tuning.

Well, well, well,
C
Just because you think you're so pretty,
C G7
And just because your momma thinks you're hot,
G7
Well, just because you think you've got something
C
That no other girl has got,
C
You've caused me to spend all my money.
C C7 F
You laughed and called me old Santa Claus.

F Cdim7
Well, I'm telling you,
C A
Baby, I'm through with you.
D G C
Because, well well, just because.

Well, well, well,
There'll come a time when you'll be lonesome
And there'll come a time when you'll be blue.
Well, there'll come a time when old Santa
He won't pay your bills for you.

You've caused me to lose all my women
And now, now you say we are through.
Well, I'm telling you
Baby, I was through with you
A long long time ago.

Well, just because you think you're so pretty
And just because your mama thinks you're the hottest thing in
town
Well, just because you think you've got something
That nobody else has got,
You've caused me to spend all of my money.
Honey, you laughed and called me your old Santa Claus.
Well, I'm telling you I'm through with you
Because, well well, just because.

Just Call Me Lonesome

G C
Why must I love a heartless one
D G
Who never knows the harm she's done
G C
Though love is blind I should have known
D G
Just call me lonesome from now on

I climb the stairs up to my room
But no-one greets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on

A D
These walls will hide me when I cry
E A
I hope that heaven lets me die
A D
What good is life when hope has gone
E A
Just call me lonesome from now on
E A
Just call me lonesome from now on
