Verse 1

            D
Well I'm 'a write a little letter
      G                   D
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
      G
Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record
  G                 D
I want my jockey to play
     A                 A                   D
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

Verse 2

             D
You know, my temperature's risin'
        G                D     D
And the juke box blowin' a fuse
   G
My heart's beatin' rhythm
       G                         D
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
     A                  A                    D
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

Verse 3

          D
I got the rockin' pneumonia
  G                         D
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
             G
I caught the rollin' arthritis
        G                D
Sittin' down at a rhythm revue
     A                                  D
Roll over Beethoven, they're rockin' in two by two

Verse 4

             D
Well, if you feel it and like it
                        D
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
                  G
Roll it over then move on up just
                       D
A trifle further, then reel and rock with one another
     A                                    D
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
