[Intro]
G
[Verse]
A
'Bout nearly twenty years ago
D
I heard this thing called rock'n'roll
E
It hit me right between the eyes
A
It left me almost paralyzed
A
I bought me records by the score
D
And even then I wanted more
E
I taught myself to reel and jive
A
I sure did get it organized
[Chorus]
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
D
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
E
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
[Verse]
A
I practised every single day
D
And soon to everyone's display
E
I left that mirror on the wall
A
And tried my luck at the town dance hall
A
Those chicks just couldn't believe their eyes
D
I'm sure I heard a million sighs
E
I must have danced with every girl
A
Who needs'a diamond rings and pearls
[Chorus] x2
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
D
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
E
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
[Clap part]
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)
D
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)
E
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)
D
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)
E
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)
[Chorus] x4
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
D
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
E
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
A
I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
