[Intro]
[Strophe]
D D7 
I dig rock and roll music 
      D                         D7 
And I love to get the chance to play. (and sing it) 
D D7                             D                D7 
I figure it's about the happiest sound going down today.
[Refrain]
Bm          G 
The message may not move me, 
Bm        G 
Or mean a great deal to me, 
    Bm      E                  A   A7 
But hey! it feels so groovy to say:
[Strophe]
D D7                                  D 
I dig the Mamas and the Papas at "The Trip," 
                  D7 
Sunset Strip in L.A. 
D   D7 
And they got a good thing going 
         D                      D7 
When the words don't get in the way.
[Refrain]
Bm               G 
And when they're really wailing, 
Bm           G 
Michelle and Cass are sailing. 
     Bm          E              A   A7 
Hey! they really nail me to the wall.
[Strophe]
D D7               D                       D7 
I dig Donovan in a dream-like, tripped out way 
D   D7             D                         D7 
His crystal images tell you 'bout a brighter day
[Refrain]
Bm           G 
And when the Beatles tell you 
Bm                  G 
They've got a word "love" to sell you 
Bm                E         A  A7 
They mean exactly what they say
[Strophe]
D D7 
I dig Rock and Roll music 
        D                        D7 
I could really get it on in that scene. 
D D7                          D                  D7 
I think I could say something if you know what I mean
[Refrain]
Bm       G                  Bm          G 
But if I really say it, the radio won't play it 
Bm       E                  A    A7 
Unless I lay it between the lines!
