DON'T PLAY THAT ROCK'N'ROLL TO ME
=================================
by Smokie
R: Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
That ain't the way it's ment to be
I ain't so blind that I can't see
D E A F#m
Just let it ly, just let it be
D E
Don't play your r'n'r-no
D E
Don't play your r'n'r-no
D E A
Don't play your r'n'r to me
1. Well I know you think I'm crazy, you're hanging round
"I so to hoping you change through the girl I found"
D E A F#m
But your words just sound like r'n'r lies to me
D E A F#m
"Made just about as burn out as a 1845"
D E A F#m
And you cant expect them to keep our love alive
R: Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
That ain't the way it's ment to be
I ain't so blind that I can't see
D E A F#m
Just let it ly, just let it be
D E
Don't play your r'n'r-no
D E
Don't play your r'n'r-no
D E A
Don't play your r'n'r to me
2. Well I guess you had me fooled for a while
With your common looks and your Mona Lisa smile
D E A F#m
But your r'n'r is getting out of time to me
D E A F#m
Don't sing your lies to someone else 'cause someone else may be
D E A
The fool you always brought your song to me
R: Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
That ain't the way it's ment to be
I ain't so blind that I can't see
D E A F#m
Just let it ly, just let it be
D E
Don't play your r'n'r-no
D E
Don't play your r'n'r-no
D E A
Don't play your r'n'r to me
