                  (Gettin' crazy ...


[Verse 1]
Bb         C            Dm
   Getting crazy on the waltzers
F                           C
   but it's the life that I choose
   G                     F C
   sing about the six blade sing about the switchback
Dm
   and a torture tattoo
                  C           Dm
   and I've been riding on a ghost train
F                      C
   where the cars they scream and slam
                               G         G7
   and I don't know where I'll be tonight
F G        Dm
   but I'd always tell you where I am

[Verse 2]
        C                 Dm
   In a screaming ring of faces
F                                  C
   I've  seen her standing in the light
                            G
   she had a ticket for the races
F       G                      Dm
   yeah just like me she was a victim of the night
           C             Dm
   I put a hand upon the lever
F                              C
   said let it rock and let it roll
G                       F   G
   I had the one arm bandit fever
                Dm
   There was an arrow through my heart and my soul

[Chorus]
             C         Bb              C    F
     And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
Bb                F/C          F
     and I'm just high on this world
          Am7           Dm            C  Bb
     come on and take a low ride with me girl
     C      Dm
     on the tunnel of love

     F  C  / Dm

[Verse 3]
   C             Dm
   It's just the danger
F                        C
   when you're riding at your own risk
                                G
   She said you are the perfect stranger
F  G        Dm
   She said baby let's keep it like this
   C           Dm
   It's just a cake walk
F                Dm
   twisting baby step right up and say
G             F       G
   Hey mister give me two give me two
       Dm
   cos any two can play

[Chorus]
             C         Bb              C    F
     And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
Bb                F/C          F
     and I'm just high on this world
          Am7           Dm            C  Bb
     come on and take a low ride with me girl
     C      Dm
     on the tunnel of love

Gm                  F/A Bb
   money for muscle and another girl I dig
Gm                F/A     Bb
   another hustle just to make it big
       C                 Csus4

       F                             C/E          Dm         C
   and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Bb      C                      F    Bb
   like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
C          F                        C/E          Dm          C
   oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

[Verse 4]
   C                     Dm
   She took off a silver locket
F                       C
   she said remember me by this
   C                      G
   She put her hand in my pocket
F  G       Dm
   I got a keepsake and a kiss
   C                               Dm
   And in the roar of the dust and diesel
F                               C
   I stood and watched her walk away
   C                               G
   I could have caught up with her easy enough
F  G   Dm
   But something must have made me stay

[Chorus]
             C         Bb              C    F
     And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
Bb                F/C          F
     and I'm just high on this world
          Am7           Dm            C  Bb
     come on and take a low ride with me girl
     C      Dm
     on the tunnel of love

[Bridge]
Bb C           Gm                                F/A     Bb
   And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Gm                           F/A    Bb
   Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
Gm                       F/A     Bb
   In any shooting gallery where promises are made
       C                 Csus4
   and rockaway rockaway
C
   yeah rockaway rockaway
Bb       C                          Bb
   From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay
C
   out to rockaway

       F                             C/E          Dm         C
   and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Bb      C                      F    Bb
   like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
C          F                        C/E          Dm          C
   oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
   Bb      C                      F    Bb              C
Yeah, like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
