Why Should The Devil Have All The good music by Larry Norman
Key:CC| Capo:0fr|
N/CE
I want the people to know that he saved my soul
E
But I still like to listen to the radio
E
They say rock-n-roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance
E
I say, "I feel so good I've gotta get up and dance."
Gb7A
I know what's right, I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it
EE
All I'm really trying to say is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
GbA
And I feel good every day,
BAE
because Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
E
They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane
E
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
EE
But sometimes people don't understand
E
What's a good boy doing in a rock-n-roll band
Gb7A
There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
EE
Well if you've got a reason tell me to my face, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
GbA
There's nothing wrong with what I play,
BAE
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
Solo: Gb | / | A7 | / | Gb | / | A7 | / |
GbA
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that has a beat
GbA
I ain't knocking the hymns, just give me a song that moves my feet
B
I don't like none of those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet!
Solo Section 2: E (4 bars build one note at a time to E7)

E
Jesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way
E
There's one more thing I'd like to say
EE
They nailed him to the cross and they laid him in the ground
E
But they should have known you can't keep a good man down
GbA
I feel good every day I don't want to lose it
EE
All I wanna, all I wanna know is, "Why should the devil have all the good music?"
GbA
I've been filled I feel okay
BA
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
B7A7
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
B7A7
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
