Eddie Cochran, Twenty Flight Rock (1957)
Key: :[F#] (w: Eddie Cochran, Nelda "Ned" Fairchild)
INTRO: [F#]
VERSE 1:
[F#] I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin, she's a queen
[B] We love to dance on a Saturday night
[F# open] All alone where I can hold her tight
[C#7] But she lives on 20th floor uptown
And the
[F# open] elevator has broken down
CHORUS:
So I
[F#] walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
[B] At 12th I'm startin' to drag,
[F#] 15th floor I'm ready to sag
[C#7] Get to the top,
[B] I'm too tired to
[F#] rock
VERSE 2:
[F#] She called me up on the telephone
Said: "Come over, baby, I'm all alone"
[B] I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet
[F# open] but I'm in bed achin' feet"
[C#7] This went for a couple of days
[F# open] But I could not stay away
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[F#] They sent it to Chicago for repairs
'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs
[B] I have to get there before it's to late
[F# open] My baby couldn't bear much to wait
[C#7] All this climbin' is gettin' me down
[F# open] You'll find my corps draped over a rail
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO: [/F#/A#/C#/D#/F#] [G] [F# open]
