[Verse 1]
     A
I've got a girl with a record machine

                                       D
When it comes to rockin, she's a queen
A (mute) We love to dance on a Saturday night N.C. All alone where I can hold her tight
    E7
But she lives on 20th floor uptown
A (mute) And the elevator has broken down During the verses the riff goes like this:
   A                       D           A E7          A

[Verse 2]
     A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four

                                           D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag

E7             D                A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
[Verse 3]
A
She called me up on the telephone

                                       D
Said: "Come over, baby. I'm all alone."
A (mute) I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet, N.C. but I'm in bed achin' feet."
  E7
This went for a couple of days
A (mute) But I could not stay away [Verse 4]
     A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four

                                           D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag

A
They sent it to Chicago for repairs

                                  D
'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs

                                     A
I have to get there before it's to late
N.C. My baby couldn't bear much to wait
E7
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
A (mute) You'll find my corpse draped over a rail [Verse 6]
     A
But I fly one, two flight, three flight, four

                                           D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag

E7             D                A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
