Chords

As recorded by Chuck Berry (From the 1960 Album ROCKIN' AT THE HOPS) [Intro] Ab Gb Eb Ab Gb [Verse 1]
Ab
Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen

Ab
He goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha king

Db
He cha-chas when the band is playin' rock and roll

   Eb  N.C.
He tries to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold.
[Chorus]
N.C.         Ab
Because he's too pooped to pop, too old a soul

Ab
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll

Ab
And every time his feet get to go in one way

Ab
Here comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.
[Verse 2]
Db
Chicks told Casey, You better move man,

Ab
This is only a one night stand

Db
Casey wasn't in time but he was dancin' awhile

        Ab N.C.
Till a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style.
[Chorus]
N.C.         Ab
Because he's too pooped to pop, too old a soul

Ab
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll

Ab
And every time his feet get to go in one way

Ab
Here comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.
[Sax Solo] Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab Ab Db Gb N.C. Eb N.C. [Chorus]
N.C.         Ab
Because he's too pooped to pop, too old a soul

Ab
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll

Ab
And every time his feet get to go in one way

Ab
Here comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.
[Verse 3]
Db
Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo

Ab
This might have been fine back in '22

         Db
Now, I'm gonna give you fellows just a little tip

       Eb  N.C.
If you wanna keep your girl you'd better get hip
[Out-Chorus]
N.C.          Ab
Or, you'll be too pooped to pop, too old a soul

Ab
You hips are gettin' weaker when you'll try to do the stroll

Ab
And every time your feet gettin' to go in one way

Ab
Here comes a new dance you'll be left to stray.
