Brand new key    (intro)    (midi)

 

   C

1.    I rode my bicycle past your window last night,

G

    I roller-skated to your door at daylight,

    C                                                       C7

    it almost seems like you're avoiding me,

F                                               G

    I'm okay alone, but you got something I need.

 

        C

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key.

 

I think that we should get together and try them out, you see.

F

 I been looking around a while, you got something for me.

      C

Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key.

 

   C

2.    I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car,

G

    don't go too fast, but I go pretty far,

           C                                                                           C7

    for somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world,

F                                               G                   

    some people say, I done all right for a girl.

            C                                                                       F            

   Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah  yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah,

             G              C

3.     I asked your mother if you were at home,

G

    she said, yes, but you weren't alone.

     C                                                                C7

    Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me,

F                                                   G

    I'm okay alone, but you've got something I need.  + CHORUS
