[Intro] G  C  D  C  G
 
G 
She was just sixteen and all alone 
C               Am 
when I came to be 
D                      C 
so we grew up together 
                    G 
My momma child and me 
 
Now things were bad 
 
and she was scared 
        C 
but whenever I would cry 
Am                       D 
she'd calm my fears and dry my tears 
             C              G 
with that rock'n'roll lullabye 
 
and she'd sing 
 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
        Am 
It will be alright 
C                   D 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
                    G 
Now just hold on tight 
Sing it to me mamma 
Ma mamma ma ma 
        Am 
It will be alright 
          C 
sing it sweet and clear 
      D 
oh, momma let me hear 
            C       D      G 
That old rock'n'roll lullabye 
 
Solo:- 
 
G 
we made it through 
the lonely days 
C                         Am 
But, Lord, the nigths were long 
        D 
and we dreamed of better mornings 
C           D        G 
when mamma sang her song 
 
Now I can't recall the words at all 
C                           Am 
And it don't make sense to try 
         D 
'Cause I just knew lots of love came through  
      C             D      G 
In that old rock'n'roll Lullabye 
 
and she'd sing 
G 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
         Am 
It will be alright 
C                     D 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
             G 
Let's just hold on tight 
I can hear you, mamma 
Ma mamma ma ma  
       Am 
I will be alright 
C                
Nothing move my soul 
D 
Like the sound of the good old 
 C             D      G 
Old rock'n'roll Lullaby 
G 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
        Am 
It will be alright 
C                  D 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
                     G 
Let's just hold on tight
