    You can do a lot more with the song:

    (if your using a semi acoustic)
    After every Eb/E/ you can hit the board to make it sound like the drums

    E A7 E
    Was a-dancin' to the Jail-house Rock!


    At this point of time, you can remain on E if you find it hard switching between the chords :)

    Enoy...
