What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
"Can't You tell that your tie's too wide?"
Maybe I should bye some old tab collar?
"Welcome back to the age of jive.
Where have you been hiddin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money"
Everybody talking 'bout the new sound.
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.
What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
Can't tell it's out of style?"
Should I get a set of white wall tires?
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you cant't be too sentimental.
Your best bet's a true baby, blue Continental."
Hot funny, cool punk even if it's old junk,
it's still rock and roll to me.
Oh it doesn't matter what they say in the papaers,
'cause it's always been the same old scene.
There's a new band in town but you can't get the sound
from a story in a magazine.
aimed at your average teen.
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
and a bright orange pair of pants?
"Well, you could really be a Beau Brummel baby,
if you just give it half a chance.
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers.
You get more milage from a cheaper pair of sneakers."
Next phase, new wave, dance trace, anyways
it's still rock and roll to me.
What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
"Don't know that they're out of tough?"
Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?"
If You are, then you think too much."
"Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lota money."
It's the next phase, new wave, dance trace; anyways
it's still rock and roll to me.
Everybody's talking about the new sound.
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.

It might depend on which formation for the E you choose to use in the verses, but I found an Em sounded much better for me.
Everything else matched quite nicely (I played along with Billy Joel's original recording for comparison) except the last line seems to be missing an Am at the beginning (between Bb and G) and the end note sounds like a plain C...
But these are small differences and the overall song is well done! Thank you - love Billy Joel (and his quick and varied chord changes!). :)

I think the E's need to be Em's, but otherwise it sounds really good :)
