[Verse 2]
But the [G] years went by and rock just died
[Bm] Susie went and left me for some foreign guy
[C] Long nights cryin' by the record machine
[D] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll [G] never kill the thrills we've got
Burnin' [Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning [C] fast till the weeks went past
We really [D] thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
|[Chorus]
|[Em] Croc Rockin' is something shockin'
|When your [A7] feet just can't keep still
|I [D7] never had me a better time and I [G] guess I never will
|Oh [E7] Lawdy mamma those Friday nights
|When [A7*] Susie wore her dresses tight and
|The [D7] Crocodile Rockin' was out of [C] sight...

I was [D] just a skinny lad, never knew no good from bad
