C F
Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll

Lord, I got the boogie woogie right down in my very soul

Ain't no stopping till the 25th hour

Verse 1
C
Woah, Junior and the drummer are fighting
About a woman in the neighborhood
Oh, the drummer never hit a bad lick in his life
And Junior never hit any good
F
Yeah, the colonel said that women are for loving, not fighting
Ab
But that didn't clear the air
C
'Cause Junior's still living in the blackboard jungle
With his Elvis Presley hair
Chorus
C C7
Yeah, the drummer's got the drum, the colonel's got the gun
C6 C#5
And Junior's only got a knife, he'd better run
F Ab
It's a shootout on the plantation, it's so hard to understand
C
Why do some people have to hurt somebody?
D7 G7
The firewater's not the villain
C E
Yeah, the last one to kiss is the first to shoot
F Gb
And stabbing your friends is such a drag to boot
C A7
It's a shootout on the plantation
D7 G7 C
Oh, heaven help Mister Swan, yeah
F
Verse 2
C
And the cold steel blade is shining
Enough to cause your blood to freeze
But the drummer is drumming a Rolling Stones' number
On Junior's head and on his knees
F
Oh, Oklahoma's lonesome cowboys
Ab
Are turned on in Tinsel Town
C
I knew there'd be some cameras rolling
If Andy was standing around
Chorus
C C7
Yeah, the drummer's got the drum, the colonel's got the gun
C6 C#5
And Junior's only got a knife, he'd better run
F Ab
It's a shootout on the plantation, it's so hard to understand
