Verse 1:

   A augmentedA
I've got a girl with a record machine
                    D MajorD
When it comes to rockin, she's a queen
                   A augmentedA (mute)
We love to dance on a Saturday night
N.C.
All alone where I can hold her tight
  E7E7
But she lives on 20th floor uptown
A augmentedA (mute)
And the elevator has broken down

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

She called me up on the telephone
                    D MajorD
Said: "Come over, baby. I'm all alone."

They sent it to Chicago for repairs
                 D MajorD
'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs
                   A augmentedA
I have to get there before it's to late
N.C.
My baby couldn't bear much to wait
E7E7
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
A augmentedA (mute)
You'll find my corpse draped over a rail

Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A augmentedA
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7E7       D MajorD        A augmentedA
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
