Twenty-mile Zone chords by Dory Previn

Verse:

A
I was riding in my car

Screaming at the night

                 E
Screaming at the dark

                   A
Screaming at fright


A
I wasn't doing nothing

                E
Just drive about

Screaming at the dark

              A
Letting it out


                      E
That's all I was doing

     A
Just letting it out


A
Well, along comes a motorcycle

Very much to my surprise

                                 E
I said, "Officer, was I speeding"

I couldn't see his eyes


          D
He said, "No, you weren't speeding"

       A
And he felt where his gun was hung

          E
He said, "Lady, you were screaming

At the top of your lung"

Chorus:

              D
And you were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming in your car


In a twenty-mile zone

         E
You were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming


              D
You were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming in your car


In a twenty-mile zone

         E
You were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming

Verse:

A
I said, "I'll roll up all my windows"

A
Don't want to disturb the peace

I'm just a creature

              E
Who is looking for a little release


         D
I said, "What's so wrong with screaming

A
Don't you do it at your games

         E
When the quarterback breaks an elbow?"

When the boxer beats and maims

Chorus:

              D
But you were, doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming in your car


In a twenty-mile zone

         E
You were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming


              D
You were, doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming in your car


In a twenty-mile zone

         E
You were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

         A
You were screaming

Verse:

         A
I said, "Animals roar when they feel like

A
Why can't we do that too

Instead of screaming 'Banzai baby'

       E                 A
In the war, in the human zoo"


A
He said, "I got to take you in now

Follow me right behind

                                E
And let's have no more screaming

Like you're out of your mind"


      D
So he climbed aboard his cycle

        A
And his red-eyed headlight beamed

        E
And his motor started spinning

              A
And his siren screamed

Chorus:

       D
He was doing it alone

He was doing it alone

       A
He was screaming on his bike


In a twenty-mile zone

       E
He was doing it alone

He was doing it alone

       A
He was screaming


      D
I was doing it alone

I was doing it alone

      A
I was screaming in my car

In a twenty-mile zone


      E
I was doing it alone

I was doing it alone

      A
I was screaming


        D
We were doing it together

We were doing it together

        A
We were screaming at the dark


In a twenty-mile zone

        E
We were doing it together

We were doing it together

        A
We were screaming


        D
We were doing it together

We were doing it together


        A
We were doing it together

We were doing it together


        E
We were doing it together

E
We were doing it together


We were doing it together

                           A
We were doing it together alone


In a twenty-mile zone
