Bb                   Dm       F                          C
Getting crazy on the waltzers…..but it's the life that I choose

G                                                      Dm

                                  F                    C
And I been riding on a ghost train…where the cars they scream and slam

                            G                  Dm

                         G                                Dm
She had a ticket for the races, ya just like me she was a victim of the night

                            F                             C
I put my hand upon the lever….said let it rock and let it roll

                  G                          Dm
I had the one arm bandit fever, there was an arrow through my heart and soul

                          Bb     C     F           Bb
And the big wheel keep on turning…neon burning…up above

             F
And I'm just high on the world

                   Dm            Bb

                               G                 Dm

                          Bb     C      F          Bb

Bb                    Dm    F                        C
She took off a silver locket…she said remember me by this

                       G               Dm
She put her hand in my pocket……I got a keepsake and a kiss

I could have caught up with her easy enough

     Dm
But ‘somethin must have made me stay

            Gm                                        Bb
And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades

Gm                               Bb
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades

In any shooting gallery where promises are made
