[Verse 1]
[C#]The [D]ward[C#]en t[D]hre[C#]w[D]
a party in the county jail.
[C#]The pris[D]on band was there
and they began to wail.
[C#]The band[D] was jumpin' and
the joint began to swing.
[C#]You should've hear[D]d those
knocked out jailbirds sing.
[G]Lets rock, everybody, let[D]s rock.
Every[A]body in the whole cell [G]block
Was dan[D]cin' to the jailhouse rock.
Spider Murphy played the
tenor saxophone,
[C#]Litt[D]le Joe was blowin'
on the slide trombone.
[C#]The drum[D]mer boy from Illinois went crash,
boom, bang,
[C#]The whol[D]e rhythm section
was the purple gang.
Lets [G]rock, everybody, lets [D]rock.
Every[A]body in the whole cell [G]block
Was dan[D]cin' to the jailhouse rock.
[C#]Number f[D]orty- seven said
to number [C#]three:
[D]You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
[Db]I su[D]re would be delighted
with your [Db]company,
[D]Come on and do the
jailhouse rock with me.
Lets [G]rock, everybody, lets [D]rock.
Every[A]body in the whole cell [G]block
Was dan[D]cin' to the jailhouse
[G]rock.[D]
[A][G][D]
The sad [Db]sack [D]was a sittin'
on [Db]a block of [D]stone
Way over in the corner
[Db]weepin' [D]all alone.
The warden said, hey, buddy,
don't you be no square.
[Db]If you can't[D] find a partner
use a wooden chair.
Lets [G]rock, everybody, lets [D]rock.
[A]Everybody in the whole cell [G]block
Was dan[D]cin' to the
jailhouse [Db]rock.[D]
Shifty Henry said to bugs,
for heavens [Db]sake,
[D]No ones lookin',
now's our [Db]chance [D]to make a break.
Bugsy turned to shifty [Db]and he [D]said, nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while
and get my kicks.
Lets [G]rock, everybody, lets [D]rock.
Every[A]body in the whole cell [G]block[D]

[Outro 1]
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.
[D]
