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:

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
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7       D        A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Verse 5:

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
