INTRO: BB G#m7G#m7

#1.
BB
Last night I took a walk after dark,
 G#m7G#m7
a swingin' place called Palisades Park.
  E MajorE                 F#F#
To have some fun and see what I could see.
         F#7F#7
That's where the boys are!

#2.
BB
I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute
G#m7G#m7
That boy I sat beside was awful cute.
  E MajorE                     F#F#
And when we stopped he was holdin' hands with me.
       F#7F#7
My heart was flyin'!

BRIDGE:
E MajorE           G#m7G#m7
up like a rocket ship..down like a roller coaster.
E MajorE               F#F#
Back like a loop-the-loop and round, like a

merry-go-round.

CHORUS:
BB                 G#m7G#m7
We ate and ate at a hot dog stand..we danced around

to a rockin' band.
E MajorE                   F#F#
And when he could, that boy gave me a hug..in the
F#7F#7
Tunnel of Love.

#2.
E MajorE
You'll never know how great a kiss can feel when
    G#m7G#m7
you're stopped at the top of a Ferris wheel.
    E MajorE       F#F#        BB
Well, I fell in love, down at Palisades Park.

And when he could, that boy gave me a hug..in the
