A
I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin, she's a queen
D
We love to dance on a Saturday night
A
All alone where I can hold her tight
E7
But she lives on 20th floor uptown
A
And the elevator has broken down
A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
D
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
A
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
E7 D A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
A
She called me up on the telephone
Said: "Come over, baby. I'm all alone."
D
I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet,
A
but I'm in bed achin' feet."
E7
This went for a couple of days
A
But I could not stay away
A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
D
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
A
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
E7 D A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
A D E7 D A
A
Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs
'Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
D
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
A
Want my baby too much to wait
E7
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
A
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
A
But I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
D
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
A
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
E7 D A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
