Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music?

N/C E I want the people to know that he saved my soul
E But I still like to listen to the radio
EThey say rock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance
E I say, "I feel so good I've gotta get up and dance."
F#7 AI know what's right, I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it
E EAll I'm really trying to say is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
F# AAnd I feel good every day,
B A Ebecause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
E They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane
EI grew it out long to make room for my brain
E EBut sometimes people don't understand
EWhat's a good boy doing in a rock-n-roll band
F#7 AThere's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
E EWell if you've got a reason tell me to my face, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
F# AThere's nothing wrong with what I play,
B A EJesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
Solo: F# | / | A7 | / | F# | / | A7 | / |
F# AI ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that has a beat
F# AI ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that moves my feet
BI don't like none of those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet!
Solo Section 2: E (4 bars build one note at a time to E7) | A | A7 | E7 | B7 | A7 | E7 | / |
EJesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way
EThere's one more thing I'd like to say
E EThey nailed him to the cross and they laid him in the ground
E But they should have known you can't keep a good man down
F# AI feel good every day I don't want to lose it
E EAll I wanna, all I wanna know is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
F# AI've been filled I feel okay
B AJesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
B7 A7Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
