C
Well it was New Years Eve I was 14 at the time
I was celebrating 4 AM with them hoodlum friends of mine
F
I heard a boy named Elvis Presley
C
Singing That's Alright Mama on the radio and it turned me on
G7C
I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on
Well all my friends thought I had one brick less than a load
Cause I'd stop the car and I'd jump out and start dancing in the road
F
When I heard Jerry Lee Lewis singing
C
Whole Lot of Shaking Going On it turned me on
G7C
And I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on
F
Wella I'd steal them fancy hubcaps
C
Off them cowboy's pickup trucks fender skirts and mud-flaps
F
Anything to make a buck I'd sell 'em right back to 'em
D7
Out behind the rodeo just to make a little money
G7
To treat my little honey to a rock and roll show
C
And I hung around that skating rink where Buddy Holly played
I could not believe one man could have such fun
F
And still get paid then I heard that local DJ playing
C
That'll Be The Day it turned me on said turned me on
G7C
I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on
F
Well I finally got some tickets to see Elvis live and hot
C
And my girlfriend almost jumped my bones going back to the parking lot
F
I knew that it was not my great physique good looks and charm
D7G7
That left that Texas teenybopper's nail-prints in my arm
C
So I bought myself a guitar and I wrote me a lady's song
And I could change the name to fit my latest flame
And that sucker never came out wrong
F
I'd sit back and sing it soft and low
C
Watch 'em as it slowly turned 'em on I'd turn 'em on
G7C
I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on
G7C
I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on
