Chord Req: Let The Good Times Roll

Hi all,

I haven't found this on either Mudcat --don't think I missed it--or the Net.

There are at least two songs with the title "Let The Good Times Roll", one a hit for Shirley and Lee in the 60's, one a song sung by Louis Jordan.

I have the lyrics for both. Anybody have the chords for either--or, even better, both?

Thanks.

Let The Good Times Roll


Come on baby, let the good times roll
Come on baby, let me thrill your soul..
Come on baby, let the good times roll..
Roll all night long...

Come on baby, yes this is it...
This is the something I just can't quit
Come on baby, let the good times roll..
Roll all night long...

Come on baby, while the thrill is on..
Come on baby, let's have some fun..
Come on baby let the good times roll..
Roll all night long...

Come on baby, just close the door..
Come on baby, let's rock some more...
Come on baby let the good times roll..
Roll all night long...

Feels so good...
When you're home..
Come on baby..
Rock me all night long..


Come on baby, let the good times roll
Come on baby let me thrill your soul..
Come on baby, let the good times roll..
Roll all night long...

Feels so good...
When you're home..
Come on baby..
Rock me all night long..

Come on baby, let the good times roll
Come on baby, let me thrill your soul..
Come on baby, let the good times roll..
Roll all night long...



I understand some radio stations refused to play it at the time--too suggestive, of course.

I bet that helped sales--it was a smash hit.


I tried the link above suggested above for chords--no luck. Still need chords--informal group wants to do this for Mardi Gras.

Here's the song sung by Louis Jordan--I think It was written by B. B King.

Let The Good Times Roll



Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so

Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta go out and spend some cash, and
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

Hey Mr. Landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell 'em that the joint is closed
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

Hey, tell everybody
Mr. King's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
Just rarin' to clown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that i'm gonna keep, so

Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

No matter whether it's rainy weather
Birds of a feather gotta stick together
So get yourself under control
Go out and get together and let the good times roll




Need the chords for this too.




Both songs are on YouTube

Turns out my proofreading is not the best.   Oh, well. These are basically the songs.
