(spoken text) (Might say a word first, but can't make it out???) Rock 'n' roll
        A                 C    D         Am
They're throwin' a party             for big Ida Lee

G    D      Am                   C  D       Em
        The man from the skyway,        the Chinaman and me

G   E          A                   C     D        Am
       There's so much affection             it's making me crazy

G    D       Am                    C   D      Am
        I've run out of reasons           for keepin' it neat

G    D   C             D
           Everybody's laughin'

C#m7        F#7    Bm
      Every body's makin' love

G             Bm7              E
Ida Lee, it's you I'm thinkin' of

G   D   Am                    C   D       Am
        Threw out the favors,         the hooters and the hats

G   D      Am                   C    D              Em
        We put out the candle,          oh,and then blew out the cat

G   E        A                     C     D             Am
      Oh, my temperature's rising,           we're all on the chaise lounge

G    D   Am            C   D       Am
         Big Ida Lee,        she's nowhere to be found

G    D   C             D
           Everybody's laughin'

C#m7        F#7    Bm
      Every body's makin' love

G             Bm7              E

|G       D      |Am             |C       D      |Am           |
 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
quack quack quack
|G       D      |Am             |C       D      |Em           |
 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Ida Lee, it's you I'm thinkin' of

G   D          Am                    C   D     Am
          They open the air shaft           as Ida walks in

G   D       Am                           C    D    Em
        She comes up to me and whispers,              "Honey, where have you been?"

G   E      A                     C     D      Am
       I'm stripping my gears,            I'm blowing my fuse

G   D        Am                    C   D          Am
       Cause Ida Lee's giving me         somewhat more than I can use

|G       D      |Am             |C       D      |Am           |
 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
so on faith
|G       D      |Am             |C       D      |Em           |
 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

|G       E      |A              |C       D      |Am           |
 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

|G       D      |
