Dm C Dm Bb C Dm F C Dm Bb F C Dm F C Getting crazy on the waltzers but its life that I choose G F Dm Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo F C Dm F C And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam G Dm And I dont know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am F C Dm F C In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light G Dm She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night F C Dm 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 my soul Bb C F BbDm F C It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk G Dm F C She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this Dm F C It's just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say G Dm Hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play Bb C F BbAnd the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above F C And Im just high on the world Am Dm F C Come on and take a low with me girl Dm F C Dm... F C On the tunnel of loveGm Bb Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig Gm Bb Money for muscle another girl I dig Gm Bb Another hustle just to make it big C And rockaway rockaway F C Dm Bb And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did C F Bb C Like the spanish city to me when we where kids F C Dm Bb Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did C F Bb C Like the spanish city to me when we where kids F Dm C Bb C F Dm C Bb Dm F C Dm F C 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 F C Dm F C And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away G Dm I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay Bb C F BbAnd the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above F C And I'm just high on the world Am Dm F C Come on and take a low with me girl Dm F C Dm... F C On the tunnel of loveGm Bb And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades Gm Bb Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades Gm Bb In any shooting gallery where promises are made C To rockaway rockaway rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bat out to rockaway F C Dm Bb And girl it looks so pretty to me... just like it always did C F Bb C Like the spanish city to me... when we where kids F C Dm Bb Oh girl it looks so pretty to me... just like it always did C F Bb C Like the spanish city to me... when we where kids F C Dm BbF C F Bb C F ...And the big wheel on turning neon burning up above F C And I'm just high on the world Am Dm F C Come on and take a low with me girl Dm F C Dm...
