I'm gonna tell you a story that you won't believe.
But [A] I fell in love last Friday evening [B] with a girl I saw on the ballroom TV [E] screen. _ _ _ _
Well, [E] I was just getting ready to get my hair, and she [A] caught my eye.
And I pulled it back, [B] and I ordered myself [A] a couple of more shots and [E] beers. _ _ _ _
Tonight, [G] I'm thinking, oh, we're gonna [A] roll a derby queen.
[E] Around and around, all around and around, [G] the meanest uncle woman [A] that anybody ever [B] _ seen.
[B] Down in the [E] arena, she was 5'6", 2'15".
[A] A beach-flying bomber with a streak of mean.
[B] She knew [E] how to knuckle, [A] and she knew how to scuffle [Em] and fight. _ _ _ _
And [E] we'll roll a derby.
Mo Graham said that [A] she would build it like a bridge, a raider with a head.
[B] Her fans called her Duffy, [A] but all her buddies called [E] her Spike. _ _ _ _
_ [G] And I fell in love [A] with a roll a derby [E] queen.
Around and around, all around and [G] around, the meanest uncle woman that [A]
anybody ever [B] seen.
_ [B] _
Down in the [E] arena.
_ Down, down, oh, down, down.
_ [A] _ Down, down, oh, down, [A#] down.
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ Down, down.
[Em] _ _
[B] _ [E] Well, I could not help it, but to fall in love [A] with this heavy-duty woman.
I've been speaking of [B] things were kind of bad [A] until the day she skated [E] into my life. _ _ _
_ Well, she might be nasty, [Em] she might be fat, [A] but I never met a person who wasn't still there.
[B] She's my beach-flying bomber, [A] a heavy-handed hack [E] and sack momma. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] And I fell in love [A] with a roll a [E] derby queen.
Around and around, all around and [G] around, the meanest uncle [A] woman that anybody [B] ever _ _ seen.
Down in the [E] arena. _ _ _ _ _
Down, [A] _ _ down, oh, down, [B] down.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ Down, _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ down, oh, down, down.
[A] Down, down, _ oh, down, down.
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ Down, down, [E] oh, [F#] down, down.
Down, [A] _ _ down, oh, down, down.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
