I was born when Billy Haley and and the Comets´»Rock Around The Clock» was atit´s top popularity: 1955. A keen listener since early childhood, I rememberenjoying many songs from the early Rock and Roll years and early 60´s HighschoolHoneydrip. In 1964 I started taking R&R music more seriously with the apparitionof a new “a Go-Go” radio station dedicated to this kind of music. That’s when Ibegan jotting down song lyrics and started friendship with classmate Hugh WattsTaylor; another Rock and Roll fan at only ten years of age.

One of my passions: electric guitars - their sound and effects (reverb and tremoloback then), their curves and designs (I later became an Architect and designer),their beautiful color bursts and shinny buffed finishing. Wow, it´s still anindescribable thrill every time. In the early 70´s, another beautiful, new and exoticsound came along as well: the Moog Synthesizer!

Notebooks and scrap paper started pilling up with all my handwritten song lyrics.In 1970, I asked my parents to have a guitar for my birthday. With Hugh’s help, Igot the first chords for my lyrics. From there on, work has never stopped, evenworking my fingers right done to the bone figuring out the correct chords and tabsfor my favorite songs, hunting, wherever, a particular missing chord to a song. In1972, I built my own electric guitar from instructions published in PopularMechanics Magazine.

Now more than five decades have gone by. It´s been said, from the very beginning,“Rock and Roll is here to stay”, and it´s still going on. Among today’s works I keepfinding wonderful pieces of good and pure R&R music. You have to dig a little but,they keep coming.

People tend to associate R&R music with loud, crappy music and lots of annoyingnoise. Every group has made noise to some extend; some less than other. This causesgeneral opinion to forget the beautiful pages of this important music genre.Curiously, the more diminished musical sense some people have, the more affinitytowards loud, long, noisy, poor quality music pieces!

Melody and rhythm together is “Rhythm and Blues”. Always ask, “Can you whistle orhum to it?” “Can you tap to it?” Rock and Roll is fun and it´s simple. Melodiescome from the heart and they touch you. Beat makes you want to move and dance.Lyrics are sometimes naive, sometimes very profound. Love is all around.

I hope you enjoy this work as much as I have preparing it.

EOh what a feeling AMy heart was reeling EThe bells were ringing A E D C# B AThe birds were singing

EAnd so the music keep goes on and on AAll through the night until the break of dawn EI hear a birdie up in the tree AI hear him singing this melody

CmBaby, I’d love you to want me EbThe way that I want you BbThe way that It should be CmBaby, you’d love me to want you EbThe way that I want to F BbIf you only let it be.

A A7 D A E7 A ADeep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans, A7Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, DThere stood a log cabin made of earth and wood AWhere lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode E7Who never ever learned to read or write so well, ABut he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.

AGo! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! D AGo, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! E7 AGo, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode

AHe used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, A7Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track. DAll the engineers would see him sittin' in the shade, AStrummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made. E7When people passed him by they would stop andsay, A'oh, my but that little country boy could play' A A A7 D A E7 AGo! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!...... (lead solo)

AHis mother told him, 'someday you will be a man, A7You will be the leader of a big ol' band. DMany people comin' from miles around AWill hear you play your music when the sun go down E7Maybe someday your name'll be in lights, ASayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'' AGo! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!........

The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule CAmerican history and practical math GYou study' em hard and hopin' to pass DWorkin' your fingers right down to the bone GAnd the guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring ring goes the bell

The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell CYou're lucky if you can find a seat GYou're fortunate if you have time to eat DBack in the classroom open you books

Gee but the teacher don't know GHow mean she looks

Soon as three o'clock rolls around

You finally lay your burden down CClose up your books, get out of your seat GDown the halls and into the street DUp to the corner and 'round the bend GRight to the juke joint you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot

You gotta hear something that's really hot CWith the one you love you're makin' romance GAll day long you been wantin' to dance DFeelin' the music from head to toe G'Round and 'round and 'round you go G C G D G( Lead solo )

A Boy Named SueJohnny Cash, 1969, (---) Orig chords: in Bb or capo1, Tune in: 42-44-32-32-32-42-44-42-42

AWell my daddy left home when I was threeDand he didn't leave much to ma n'meEjust this old guitar and an empty bottle of boozeAI don't blame him cause he ran in herebut the meanest thing that he ever didwas before he left he would've name me Sue.

Well he must've thought that it was quite a jokeand he got a lot of lash from a lot of folksseems I had to fight my whole life through.

Some gal would giggle and I got redand some guy would laugh and I'd bust his headBut take it, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.

Well I grew up quick and I grew up meanand my fist got hard and my wist got keenn'roamed from town to town to hide my shame.

But I made me a vow to the moon n'starsI'd search the honky tonks n'barsand kill that man that gave me that awfull name

Well it was Gamblinburg in mid JulyN'I'd just hit town and my throat was dryI thought I'd stop and have myself a brew

At an old saloon on the street of murdthere at at table dealin' sturdsuch a dirty man that named me Sue

Well I new that snake was my own sweet dadFrom an old worn picture that my mother hadand I knew that scar on his sheek and his eagle eye

He was big n'thin, grey and oldn'I look at him and my blood ran cold, n'I saidMy name is Sue, how do you do?Now you're gonna die Yea that's what I told him

Well I hit him hard right between the eyesand he went down b'to my surprisehe come out with a knife and cut out a piece of myear

Well I busted a chair right across his teethAnd we crashed through the wall and into the streetkicking and a galging the mud the blood and the

beer.

I take a thought 'bout how tough are menbut I really can't remember whenhe kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile

I heard him laugh and then I heard him cussand he went for his gun and I pulled mine firstand he stood there loking at meand I saw him smile

And he said son: this world is rough and if a man isgonna make it he's gotta be toughAnd I knew I would't be there to help you along

So I gave you that name and I said goodbyen'I knew you'd either get tough or dieand it's that name inside that's gonna help you getstrong

He said, now you've just fought one a hell of a fightAnd I now you hate me and you got the rightTo kill me now and I wouldn't blaim you if you do

But you ought to thank me just before I diewith a grab in the guts and a spit in the eyecause I'm the ( beep) that named you Sue

Yea, what could I do? What could I do?

I got all choked up and I threw out my gunI called him a pa and he called me sonAnd I come away with a differet point of view

And I think about him every now and thenEvery time I trie and every time I winAnd if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna namehim........

Bill or George, anything but Sue.
