Three Chords

A G D A G D A G Grandpa Wilbur was the first to be saved D He traveled the country playing on the church stage A G They'd pass the hat, that was all he was paid D A G D He was a dying breed long before his day A G The lights came up and he brought them to tears D They'd run the aisle, talked in tongues and they cheered A G They asked him how he did it, his response was the same A There was a little voice inside that kept on calling his name A That said give 'em three chords G And the Holy Ghost D They'll start a-moving E F F# G G# And shaking on the floor A Don't let up G When they start to sweat D They'll be dancing all night long E F F# G G# When revival hits A Now watch you baby go on and dance A G Now Wilbur's gone and the path that he charted D Now it's up to me to carry on what he started A G The message is different, but the chords are the same D Every night in the green room I hear him calling my name A He said give 'em three chords G And some rock 'n roll D They'll start a-moving E F F# G G# And shaking on the floor A Don't let up G When they start to dance D They'll be waving and a-clapping E F F# G G# And a-shaking their hands A Oh yeah G There they go D They want to feel the rhythm E F F# G G# And they're ready for more A G D So give 'em three chords A G D Give 'em three more A Now watch 'em dance go on and dance A Go on and dance go on and dance A G He gave 'em three chords and the Holy Ghost D I give 'em rock 'n roll A Don't let up G When they start to dance D They keep moving and a-shaking and a-waving their hands A Oh yeah G There they go D They want to feel the rhythm and they're ready for more A So give 'em three chords G D And some rock 'n roll, yeah A G Now watch 'em dance D E F F# G G# Go watch 'em dance A G D Go watch 'em dance E F F# G G# Give 'em that organ Rodney!
