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
       G7                                                C
I been hooked on music  hooked on music from that moment on


C
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
           G7                                                C
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
       G7                                               C
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
     D7                            G7
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
       G7                                               C
I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on

       G7                                               C
