Dire Straits - Skateaway
INTRO: D G-C (4x)
D G C
I seen a girl on a one-way corridor
D G C G D
Stealing down a wrong-way street
G C
For all the world like an urban toreador
D G C G D
She had wheels on, on her feet
G C D
The cars do the usual dances
G C G D
Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
G C D
But the Rollergirl, she's taking chances
G C G
Just love to see her take them all
CHORUS 1:
A
No fears alone at night
C Em A
Sailing through the crowd
C
In her ears the phones are tight
A D A D
And the music's playing loud
G C D
Hallelujah, here she comes
G C G D
Queen rollerball
G C D
And "Enchanté", what can I say
G C G D
Care at all
G C
You know, she used to have to wait around
D G C G D
She used to be the lonely one
G C D
But now that she can skate around town
G C G
She's the only, only one
CHORUS 1:
A
No fears alone at night
C Em A
Sailing through the crowd
C
In her ears the phones are tight
D
And the music's playing loud
CHORUS 2:
C D G Bm Em7
She gets rock n roll, on a rock n roll station
D C
And a rock n roll dream
Am G
She's making movies on location
D
She don't know what it means
G Bm
And the music maker wanna be the story
Em7 C
And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
Am G
Rollergirl, don't worry
D Em C G A D
D.J. play the movies all night long, all night long
G C D
She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
G C G D
She like to read their lips
G C D
Says, "Toro, toro taxi, see ya tomorrow my son"
G C G D
She just let a big truck grease her hip, ah!
G C G D
She got her own world in the city, hey
D G C G D
You can't intrude on her, no, no, no
G C D
She got her own world in the city
G C G
The city's been so rude to her
CHORUS 1:
A
No fears alone at night
C Em A
Sailing through the crowd
C
In her ears the phones are tight
C D
And the music's playing loud
CHORUS 2:

And a rock n roll dream
