I want the people to know that he saved my soul
But I s[A]till like to listen to the radio
They say [A]rock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance
I say, "I f[A]eel so good I've gotta get up and dance."
[D]I know what's right, I know what's [A]wrong, I don't confuse it[E]
All I'm really trying to say is, "[D]Why should the devil have [A]all th[D]e good [E]mus[A]ic?"[D]
I feel good every [A]day, 'cause J[E]esus is the rock and he [D]rolled my blues away[A]
[A]They say to cut my hair, they're d[A]riving me insane
I g[A]rew it out long to make r[A]oom for my brain
But s[A]ometimes people don't[A] understand

What's a good boy doing in a rock-n-roll band
There's nothing wrong with playing[A] blues licks
But [E]if you've got a reason tell me to my face, "[D]Why should the devil have [A]all the [D]good [E]mu[A]sic?"[D]
There's nothing wrong with what I p[A]lay, 'cause J[E]esus is the rock and he [D]rolled my blues aw[A]ay[D]
I ain't knocking the hymns, j[A]ust give me a song that has a beat[D]
I ain't knocking the hymns, j[A]ust give me a song that moves my feet
[E]I don't like none of those funeral marches,[D] I ain't dead yet![A]
[A]Jesus told the truth, and J[A]esus showed the way
There's [A]one more thing I'd like to say
They [A]nailed him to the cross and they [A]laid him in the ground
But they s[A]hould have known you can't keep a good man down[D]
I feel good every da[A]y I don't want to lose it
[E]All I wanna, all I wanna know is, "[D]Why should the devil have [A]all the g[D]ood [E]mus[A]ic?"[D]
I've been filled I feel ok[A]ay
[E]Jesus is the rock and he [D]rolled my blues
[E]Jesus is the rock and he [D]rolled my blues
[E]Jesus is the rock and he [D]rolled my blues aw[A]ay
