Intro: C Am 
 
C 
Last night I took a walk after dark 
Am 
A swingin' place called Palisades park 
F                                                          G 
To have some fun and see what I could see 
                          G7 
That's where the girls are 
 

C 
I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute 
Am 
That girl I sat beside was awful cute 
F                                                                G 
And after while she was holdin' hands with me 
G7                          F 
My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship 
Am 
Down like a roller coaster 
F 
Back like a loop-the-loop 
G                                        G7 
And around like a merry-go-round 
 

C 
We ate and ate at a hot dog stand 
Am 
We danced around to a rockin' band 
F                                                          G 
And when I could, I gave that girl a hug 
                   G7 
In the tunnel of love 
 

F 
You'll never know how great a kiss can feel 
Am 
When you stop at the top of a ferris wheel 
F                                            G 
When I fell in love down at Palisades park 
 
Instrumental with the sound of a roller coaster  

and the screams of its riders:

G                                 C 
You know it's Palisades park
