Verse 1: 0:42
          C           Dm
Getting crazy on the waltzers,
F                            C
  But it's the life that I choose, yeah,
 G
Sing about the sixblade, sing about the switchback,
Dm
  And a torture tatoo.

    C                       Dm
And I've been riding on a ghost train,
F                        C
  Where the cars they scream and slam,
                             G
And I don't know where I'll be tonight,
        Dm
But I'd always tell you where I am.

Verse 2: 1:09
C                         Dm
  In a screaming ring of faces,
F                            C
  I see her standing in the light,
                          G
She had a ticket for the races, yeah,
                        Dm
Just like me she was a victim of the night.
1:23
C                         Dm
  I put my hand upon the lever,
F                              C
  Said let it rock and let it roll,
                   G
I had the one arm bandit fever,
             Dm
There was an arrow through my heart and my soul.

Pre-chorus: 1:37
         C              A#
And the big wheels keep on turning,
C       F           A#
  Neon burning up above,
               F
And I am just high on the world,
     Am             Dm            A#
Come on and take a low ride with me girl,

Chorus: 1:52
        Dm
On the tunnel of love,
F  C     Dm        A#
  Yeah, love, love.

Verse 3: 1:59
C                Dm
  It's just the danger, danger
F                          C
  a-when you're riding at your own risk.
                                 G
She said "You are the perfect stranger",
           Dm
She said "Baby let's keep it like this."
2:13
C              Dm
  It's just a cakewalk twisting
 F          C
Baby yes, step right up and say
G
  Hey mister, give me two, give me two now
     Dm
'Cos any two can play.

  Well it's been money for muscle on-a

  Another whirligig.

And girl, it looks so pretty to me,

  When we were kids.

Verse 4: 4:07
         C             Dm
She took off a silver locket,
F                        C
  She said "Remember me by this",
                        G
She put her hand in my pocket,
         Dm
I got a keepsake and a kiss.
4:20
C                              Dm
  And in the roar of dust and diesel
F                                C
  I stood and watched her walk away,
               G
I could have caught up with her easy enough,
     Dm
But something must have made me stay.

  Woh,   love, love.

Bridge 3: 5:03
C              Gm
  And now I'm searching through these carousels
         A#
And the carnival arcades,
 Gm
Searching ev'rywhere
              A#
From steeplechase and palisades,
5:10
   Gm
In any shooting gallery
        A#
Where promises are made,
    C
To rock away, rock away,
A# C
  Rock away, rock away,

A#      C
  From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay,
A#        C!
  Out to rockaway.
