Rock And Roll Runaways

This is the same song originally done by the Velvet Underground.

It was done on the Runaways(Joan Jetts' first band) first release

and it features a real cool riff. The song is in 4/4 and we used

to start it by having the drummer play a steady beat on the cow

bell. Here is our arrangement:

Jenny said when she was just five years old you know there's

nothing goin' down at all.

She turned on that radio and there was nothin' happening at all.

She turned on that L.A. station couldn't believe what she heard

at all.

She started dancin' to that fine fine music

Her life was saved by rock and roll.

chorus: Despite all the complications they could just

dance to that rock and roll station

And it was alright(it's alright)

It was alright(it's alright)

It was alright(it's alright)

It was alright.

Jenny said when she was five years old you know her

parents will be the death of us all.

Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars well they don't

mean nothin' at all, not at all.

She turned on that L.A. station couldn't believe what she

heard at all.

She started dancin' to that fine fine music, her life was

saved by rock and roll.
