A, Bm, D, E
She was just 16, and no one long when I came to be
So we grew up together, my mama, child, and me
Now things were bad and she was scared, but whenever I would cry
She'd come and fizz and dry my tears with a rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing sha na na na na na na na na na, we'll be alright
Sha na na na na na na na na na na, just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama, mama, mama
Sing it sweet and clear, oh mama
Let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby
Now we made through the lonely days
But lords the nights were long
And we dreamed better moments when mama sang a song
Now I can't recall the words at all, it don't make a sense to try
'Cause I just knew lots of love came through in the rock 'n' roll lullaby
And she sings sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, it'll be alright
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, just hold on tight
I can hear you ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma
Nothing moves my soul like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, it'll be alright
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama, mama, mama
Nothing moves my soul like this song of a good old rock and roll lullaby
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Just hold on tight
I can hear you ma-ma
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma
Nothing moves my soul
Like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby
