Verse #1
1 3m 4
Well she was just sixteen an hour ago... when I first came to be
2m 5 4 1
So we grew up together... my mama child and me
1 3m 4
Well the times were bad and she'd get scared whenever I would cry
2m 5 4 5 1
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears... with a rock & roll lullaby
Chorus
1 3m 6m 1 4
And she'd sing “Sha la la la la la la la la la la... it's gonna be alright”
Whoa – oa – oa
5 2m 3m 2m 1
She'd be singing like “Sha la la la la la la la la la... you'd better hold on tight”
Sing it to me mama
1 3m 6m 1 4
And she'd sing “Sha la la la la la la la la la la... it's gonna be alright”
2m 3m 4 5 1
Sing it sweet and clear... oh let me hear that good ol’ Rock and Roll... lullaby

Verse #2
Well we made it through the lonely days.. but Lord the nights were long
We dreamed of brighter moments... when mama sang her song
But I can't recall the words at all... it don't make sense to try
All I knew is lots of love came through.. with that rock and roll lullaby
CHORUS
VAMP #2: | 1 | 1 | 4 | 4 || 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 || 1 | 1 | 4 | 4 |
Ending
2m 3m
Nothin’ soothes my soul... like the sound of that good ol’...
4 4 5 1...
Rock and Roll... Rock and Roll lull – a – bye....
