I Want To Sing That Rock And Roll chords by Gillian Welch

Chords with lyrics

"I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll"
written & performed by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
on the album "Down From the Mountain" (live performance)

transcribed by Grace Camblos


This is played on acoustic guitar and what sounds like either a dobro
or slide guitar. Two voices in harmony: one takes melody, the other
below it.

I’ve tried to incorporate all the key words and the chords that fall
over them. Listen to the album for more help on that one.

  D MajorD      E MajorE   A augmentedA

Slow down on the last line and play the final D MajorD with a slow, downward
stroke (take at least 3 seconds to play it). But I suppose you’ll have
to listen to the album to get the tune right anyhow (not to mention the
words – stupid legal issues).
