[Verse 1]
          C                      Dm
Hank rode in from Alabam to be a star
        G                                   C
Playin' songs he wrote on an ol' flattop guitar
                                Dm
Legend has it he did it his own way
  G                                C
A country boy who rolled the rock away

[Chorus]
                                          Dm
He was a country boy who rolled the rock away
G                              C   G7
Turned us on by what he had to say
            C                              Dm
Though he's dead and gone he's livin' on today

He stormed out of Lubbock Texas and became
   G                             C
An overnight sensation household name
                                     Dm
From Peggy Sue to his last True Love Ways
       G                                C
Just a country boy who rolled the rock away

Turned us on by what he had to say

Though he's dead and gone he's livin' on today

[Verse 3]
                           Em
From Memphis Tennessee in 55
  A                                 D
A Tupelo cat brought rock'n roll to life
                                              Em
And that Rockabilly sound it's still around today
         A                                D
He was a country boy who rolled the rock away

[Chorus]
                                          Em
He was a country boy who rolled the rock away
A                              D   A7
Turned us on by what he had to say
            D                              Em
Though he's dead and gone he's livin' on today
  A                                D
A country boy who rolled the rock away

A                D                                 Em
  Just three old country boys who rolled the rock away
A                                D   A7
Turned us on by what they had to say
               D                                 Em
Though they're dead and gone they're livin' on today
          A                                 D
They were country boys who rolled the rock away
                                                 Em  A
Yes, they were country boys who rolled the rock away
