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
[A#] We love to dance on a Saturday night
[F open] All alone where I can hold her tight
[C7] 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
[A#] At 12th I'm startin' to drag,
[F] 15th floor I'm ready to sag
[C7] Get to the top,
[A#] 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"
[A#] I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet
[F open] but I'm in bed achin' feet"
[C7] 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
[A#] I have to get there before it's to late
[F open] My baby couldn't bear much to wait
[C7] 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] [F#] [F open]
