The lyrics are dead easy to find:

I remember sixty-two
I was sixteen and so were you
And we lived next door on the avenue

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes
And we never knew what life held in store
We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more

We were the rock 'n' roll kids
Rock 'n' roll was all we did
And listenin' to those songs on the radio
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore

Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door
And Mary's down at the record store
They don't wanna be around us no more

Golden oldies, but we hardly speak
Too busy running to a different beat
Hard to understand we were once like them
How I wish we could find those rock 'n' roll days again

We were the rock 'n' roll kids
Rock 'n' roll was all we did
And listenin' to those songs on the radio
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore

I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll
We just never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore


As for the chords, if you've got the CD you should be able to work them out yourself.

(D)remember 'sixty-two

I was sixteen and so were you

And we (G)lived next (A)door, on the (D)avenue.

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too;

Blue jeans and blue suede shoes,

And we (G)never (A)knew what life (D)held in store.

We just (G)wanted to Rock 'n' (A)Roll for(D)ever more.



Chorus

(G)We were the (F#m)Rock 'n' Roll (D)Kids

And Rock 'n' (G)Roll was (D)all we did

And (G)listening to those (A)songs on the radi(D)o;

I was (G)yours and (F#m)you were (D)mine

But that was (G)once u(D)pon a time,

Now we (G)never seem to Rock 'n' (A)Roll any(D)more.



Now (D)Johnny's in love with the girl next door,

And Mary's down at the record store,

They don't (G)want to be...(A)...around (D)us no more.

"Golden Oldies" but we hardly speak

Too busy running to a different beat

Hard to (G)under(A)stand, we were (D)once like them.

How I (G)wish we could find those Rock 'n' Roll (A)days a(D)gain.



Chorus



I was (G)yours and (F#m)you were (D)mine

That was (G)once u(D)pon a time,

Now we (G)never seem to Rock and (A)Roll...



We just (G)never seem to Rock and (A)Roll any(D)more.



(For easier version replace F#m by A)
