Intro:  D       G  C           D 

        D       G  C           G 
  
C G         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 
   they just love to see her take them all 
         A           G             
           no fears alone at night 
                 Em/B                G 
           she's sailing through the crowd 
         A                 C 
           in her ears the phones are so tight 
                   G               A    D/G     A 
           and the music's playing loud 
    

C G         D           G 
              hallelujah  
C                 D               G    C6  G   
   here she comes queen rollerball 
D           C 
   enchante what can i say 
   D            G    C 
   i don't care      at all 
G  D                 G          C 
   you know she used to have to wait around 
                      D           G    C6  G 
   she used to be the lonely one 
   D                    G      C 
   but now that she can skate around the town 
   D              G   C          G 
   she's the only one   only one 
        A            G             
           no fears alone at night 
                 Em/B                G 
           she's sailing through the crowd 
        A                  C 
           in her ears the phones are so tight 
                   C               D 
           and the music's playing loud 
        C      D     G4 G     G4  
           she get's rock  n roll

           a rock n roll sta - tion 
        Em                        Em/D  G/B 
           and a rock n roll dream 
        C                    G/B 
           she's making movies   
        Am              G/D 
           on location 
               G          D 
           she don't know what it means 
                   G                                G/B   
           but the music make her wanna be the story 
           D       Em 
           and the story was whatever was the song what it was 
        C            G/B
