[Verse 1]

     A
I've got a girl with a record machine
                                       D
When it comes to rockin, she's a queen
                                     A (mute)
We love to dance on a Saturday night
N.C.
All alone where I can hold her tight
    E7
But she lives on 20th floor uptown
A (mute)
And the elevator has broken down



During the verses the riff goes like this:

   A                       D           A E7          A

E|-5-----5-----5-----5-----------------5-------------5-|


[Verse 2]

     A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
                                           D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7             D                A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock



[Verse 3]
A
She called me up on the telephone
                                       D
Said: "Come over, baby. I'm all alone."
                                        A (mute)
I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet,
N.C.
but I'm in bed achin' feet."
  E7
This went for a couple of days
A (mute)
But I could not stay away


[Verse 4]
     A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
                                           D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7             D                A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

[Verse 5]

A
They sent it to Chicago for repairs
                                  D
'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs
                                     A
I have to get there before it's to late
N.C.
My baby couldn't bear much to wait
E7
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
A (mute)
You'll find my corpse draped over a rail


[Verse 6]

     A
But I fly one, two flight, three flight, four
                                           D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7             D                A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
