G C
Do you know who I am said Bill Haley
G D
In a pancake house down by the Rio Grande
G C
And the waitress said I don't know you from diddly
G D G
To me you look like one more tired old man
[Verse 2]
C
Well, he walked and he walked down on Main street
G D
A hot wind blowing up from the south
G C
Two eye's staring in a pawnshop window
G D G
A whiskey bottle lifted to his mouth
[Chorus]
G C D G
And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
C D G
A bus of migrants pulled through town
C D G Em
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
C D G
When Haley's comet hit the ground
[Verse 3]
C
He blacked out all the windows in his bedroom
G D
He was talking to the ceiling and the walls
G C
He closed his eyes and hit the stage in '55
G D G
And the screams of the women filled the hall
[Chorus]
G C D G
And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
C D G
A bus of migrants pulled through town
C D G Em
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
C D G
When Haley's comet hit the ground
[Instrumental]
G C G D G C G D G
[Verse 4]
G C
A cop walks in a Pancake House in Texas
G D
He ordered up two coffees to go
G C
He told the waitress, "We just found the body
G D G
Of the man who invented Rock 'n' Roll"
[Chorus]
G C D G
And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
C D G
A bus of migrants pulled through town
C D G Em
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
C D G
When Haley's comet hit the ground
[Instrumental]
G C D G
C D G
When Haley's comet hit the ground
