2/2 90 rockabilly                                        C for me
                                            
INTRO:                        1   (47 1)    1   (5  1)
                                            
   We made it through to Saturday,          1    1
   we worked all week, it's time to play.   1   (5  1)
 With all the nightclubs still asleep,      1    1
   an afternoon club's what we need.        1   (5  1)

      Entertainment needed now!             4    4
We'll make our way to Toad or Plough,       1    1
      Atwood's, Burren, Sally O's -         1   (4  2)
      each one's got an early show.         1   (5  1)

Chorus:
         Suzie, let's head on   down,                 4    4
where the music is    ready     now.                  1    1
         Startin' at  ten's too late!                 4    4
   We'll party        now cause we can't  wait.       2    5
       I need some    dancin'   bad                   4    4
      to shake       away the   week I've     had.    1    6m 
         I'm just     never     able  to      stop:   1   (4  2)
         Five, six,   seven,    eight o'clock rock.   1   (47 1)
         Five, six,   seven,    eight o'clock rock.   1   (5  1)
                                                      1   (47 1)
                                                      1   (5  1)
      Guaranteed we're gonna see            1    1
      folks like you, folks like me         1   (5  1)
  who take their rockin' chicken-fried      1    1
  and rollin' on the country side.          1   (5  1)

   We used to call this music "square" -    4    4
   if you remember, you weren't there -     1    1
      now we're keepin' Hendrix real        1   (4  2)
 with stand-up bass an' pedal steel.        1   (5  1)
 
Instrumental Chorus, skip 4-measure turnaround into
Instrumental Half-Verse

     I aim to party way past ten,           4    4
   but what if I've died by then?           1    1
That's bad enough, but sure be worse        1   (4  2)
  if I never got my fun in first.           1   (5  1)

Chorus

Fade on:
    It's eight (it's eight), better get on home.      1   (47 1)
         Five, six,   seven,    eight o'clock rock.   1   (47 1)
