Dire Straits - Skateaway: chords

          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

Well, the cars do the usual dances
Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
But the rollergirl, she's taking chances
They just love to see her take them all

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

Hallelujah, here she comes
Queen rollerball
Enchanté, what can I say?
Don't care at all

You know, she used to have to wait around
She used to be the lonely one
But now that she can skate around town
She's the only one

No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd
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

She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
She like to read their lips
Says, "Toro, toro, taxi, see you tomorrow, my son"
I swear she let a big truck grease her hip
She got her own world in the city
You can't intrude on her, no, no, no
She got her own world in the city
Because the city's been so rude to her

No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd
In her ears, the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud

Chorus

Come slipping and sliding
Yeah, life's a roller ball
Slipping and a-sliding
Skateaway, that's all
Skateaway
Shala, shalay, hey hey, skateaway
Now shala, shalay, hey hey, skateaway
She's singing, "Shala, shalay, hey hey"
Skateaway
Shala, shalay
