            D                          G
   I seen a girl on a one-way corridor
C             D               G  C6   G
   Stealing down a wrong way street
D                            G     C
   For all the world like an urban toreador
               D         G C
   She had the wheels on - on her feet
G       D                     C
   Well the cars do the usual dances
D                          G        C6
   Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
G  D                        G      C
   But the rollergirl she's taking chances
D                    G     C               G

           She's sailing through the crowd
         A                 C
           In her ears the phones are so tight
                   G               A    D/G     A
