[E]
I'm gonna tell you a story that you won't believe.
[A] But I fell in love last Friday [A#] evening
[B] with [E] the girl [B] I saw [A] on the ballroom [E] TV screen.
[B]
[Em] Well, I was just getting ready to get my hair.
[A] And she caught my eye, and I pulled it [Em] back.
And I ordered [B] myself [A] a couple of more shots [E] and beers.
The night [G] that I fell in love with a [A]
roller derby [E] queen.
Around and around, all around and around.
[G] The meanest uncle woman [A] that anybody ever [B] seen.
[E] Down in the arena, she was [A] 5 [E]'6", 2 [A]'15".
With each blind bomb, a wealthy freak of [A#] mean.
[B] She [E] knew how to knuckle, [A] and she [D] knew how to scuffle [E] and [A] fight.
[E] [Em]
[B] And [E] the roller derby program [A] said
that she would build it like a fridge or even with a [F#] head.
[B] A [E] man's called a [A] toughie, but all her buddies called [E] her a spike.
[A]
[E] [G] You know that I fell in love [A] with a roller derby [E] queen.
Around and around, all around and [G] around.
The meanest uncle [A] woman that anybody [B] ever seen.
Down in the [E] arena.
All around and [A] around, all around and around.
All around and [F#] around, [B] [E] all [A]
around [E] [Em] and around.
[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.
[Em]
[B] Well, [E] she might be nasty, [Em] she might be fat,
[A] but I never met a person who wasn't still there.
[B] She might be a blind bomb, [A] or a heavy handed hack [E] and sack mama.
[G] You know that I fell in love [A] with a roller [E] derby queen.
Around and around, all around and [G] around.
The meanest uncle [A] woman that anybody ever [B] seen.
Down in the [E] arena.
Around and around, all around and [A] around.
[D] Around [A] and around, all around [F#] and around.
[B] [A]
[E] Around [B] and around, [Em]
[B] [E] all around [A] and around.
Around and around, all around and [F#] around.
