I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
C D
Holding hands and skimmin' stones had a old gold Chevy & a place of my own
G Bm
But the biggest kick I ever got was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
C D
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock we were hoppin' and
boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well
[Chorus]
Em A7
Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still
D7 G
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
E A7
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7 F C F C F C
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.

G Bm
But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went and left me for some foreign guy,
C D
Long nights cryin' by the record machine dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans but they'll
G Bm
Never kill the thrills we got burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
C D
Learning fast as the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
[Chorus]

Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.

Crazy, but that's how it goes, millions of people, living as foes

Maybe, it's not to late, to learn how to love, and forget how to hate

I've watched all the dropouts, who make their own rules

One person conditioned, to rule and control

The media sells it, and you live the role

I'm sailing away,
G
set an open course for the virgin sea
C Em Am Am \ G \ F
'Cause I've got to be free,
G
free to face the life that's ahead of me
Am G
On board I'm the captain, so climb aboard

We'll search for tomorrow, on every shore

And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try,
G C
to carry on
C Dm Em Dm C G
C Em Am Am \ G \ F
I look to the sea,
G
reflections in the waves spark my memory
C Em Am Am \ G \ F
Some happy, some sad,
G
I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had
Am G
We lived happily forever, so the story goes
Am G
But somehow we missed out, on the pot of gold
C G Am Am \ G \ F
But we'll try, best that we can,
G C
to carry on
C F
A gathering of angels,
G F
appeared above my head
C F
They sang to me this song of hope,
G F
and this is what they said, they said
C F
Come sail away, come sail away,
C F
come sail away with me, lads
C F
Come sail away, come sail away,
C F
come sail away with me
C F
Come sail away, come sail away,
C F
come sail away with me, lads
C F
Come sail away, come sail away,
C F
come sail away with me
C F
I thought that they were angels,
G F
but much to my surprise;
C F
we climbed aboard their starship,
G F
and headed for the skies
C F
Come sail away, come sail away,
C F
come sail away with me, lads
C F
Come sail away, come sail away,
C F C F G F
come sail away with me 5x
