Eddie Cochran, Twenty Flight Rock (1957)
Key: :[G] (w: Eddie Cochran, Nelda "Ned" Fairchild)
INTRO: [G]
VERSE 1:
[G] I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin, she's a queen
[C] We love to dance on a Saturday night
[G open] All alone where I can hold her tight
[D7] But she lives on 20th floor uptown
And the
[G open] elevator has broken down
CHORUS:
So I
[G] walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
[C] At 12th I'm startin' to drag,
[G] 15th floor I'm ready to sag
[D7] Get to the top,
[C] I'm too tired to
[G] rock
VERSE 2:
[G] She called me up on the telephone
Said: "Come over, baby, I'm all alone"
[C] I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet
[G open] but I'm in bed achin' feet"
[D7] This went for a couple of days
[G open] But I could not stay away
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[G] They sent it to Chicago for repairs
'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs
[C] I have to get there before it's to late
[G open] My baby couldn't bear much to wait
[D7] All this climbin' is gettin' me down
[G open] You'll find my corps draped over a rail
