British invasion with the Mersey beat, Mods, Rockers dancing in a Liverpool street

On And On And On (B. Anderson / B. Ulvaeus)


F..........................................Eb.................F
I was at a party and this fella said to me
F............................................................Eb....................F
"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
F..........................Eb...................................................F
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights,
Eb......................F.......................Eb.................Bb........F
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"
F....................................................Eb..........................F
I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?"
F...........................................Eb..............................F
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
F...........................Eb..........................................F
He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state"
Eb.......................F......................Eb......................Bb
I said, "I just can't believe it, but I think it's great
F.............................Eb.......................................................F
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?"
Eb...............................F.....................Eb......................Bb
He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

F
On and on and on, keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone
Bb..............................F
On and on and on, 'til the night is gone

F.............................................Eb....................F
Over in the corner I could see this foxy girl
F......................................................Eb..........................F
She was kinda flirting, like she might give me a whirl
F......................Eb..............................................F
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Eb................................F.......................Eb...................Bb........F
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
F..........................................................Eb..................F
And as sure as hell this girl was coming up to me
F...........................................................Eb..........................F
She said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we?
F..........................Eb....................................................F
What's the situation, do we have some time for us?"
Eb...................F...................Eb...................Bb
I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus
F....................................Eb................................................F
She said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?"
Eb...........................F......................Eb.....................Bb
I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"
