| D - - G | C - - - | D - - G | C - G - | x2
 
[Verse 1]
         D                          G C
I seen a girl on a one-way corridor
                 D              G  C  G
Stealing down a wrong-way street
D                           G      C
  For all the world like an urban toreador
        D         G C          G  
She had wheels on,  on her feet
D                 G      C      
  The cars do the usual dances
D                          G        C     G
  Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
D                            G      C        
  But the Rollergirl, she's taking chances
D               G      C           G
  Just love to see her   take them all

[Pre-chorus] 
A            C                   Em                   G
  No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd
A                   C                        G               A   
  In her ears the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud

[Verse 2] 
D          G C               D
  Hallelujah,  here she comes
D              G   C  G 
  Queen rollerball
D              G C                
  And "Enchanté",  what can I say
D         G   C   G 
  Care at all
D               G               C
  You know, she used to have to wait around
                    D         G C  G  
She used to be the lonely one
D                   G  C                
  But now that she can   skate around town
D               G  C    G   
  She's the only,   only one

[Pre-chorus]
A            C                   Em                   G
  No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd
A                   C                        G               A   
  In her ears the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud
 
[Chorus]
C      D    G                                   
  She gets rock n roll, on a rock n roll station
Em                       
  And a rock n roll dream
C                     Am             G/D
  She's making movies    on location
               D
She don't know what it means
         G                              
And the music make her wanna be the story
          Em                                        
And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
C             Am            G/D
  Rollergirl,   don't worry
               D     Em     D     C               G     A 
D.J. play the movies   all night long, all night long

[Verse 3] 
D      G        C                        
  She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
D                            G C  G 
  She like to read their lips
D                    G   C                            
  Says, "Toro, toro taxi,  see ya tomorrow my son"
D                      G   C                 G 
  She just let a big truck   grease her hip,   ah!
D                  G            C       
  She got her own world in the city, hey
D                       G   C       G  
  You can't intrude on her,   no, no, no
D             G    C            
  She got her own world in the city
D                 G   C          G   
  The city's been so rude to her 
 
[Pre-chorus]
A            C                   Em                   G
  No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd
A                 C                          G               A   
  In her ears the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud

[Chorus]
C      D    G                                   
  She gets rock n roll, on a rock n roll station
Em                       
  And a rock n roll dream
C                     Am             G/D
  She's making movies    on location
                 D
She don't know what it means
         G                              
And the music make her wanna be the story
          Em                                        
And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
C             Am            G/D
  Rollergirl,   don't worry
               D     Em     D     C     G   A 
D.J. play the movies   all night long

      Slippin' and a-slidin'
D        G       C            G  
  Yeah, life's a   rollerball
D                      G    C 
  Slippin' and a-slidin'
D           G  C          G   D G C
