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

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
