[Verse]
E B E                                              
■ ■ ■ Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
A             E         A             
But I fell in love last Friday evening
         B               A           E     
With the girl I saw on a bar room TV screen
B7         E                               
Well I was just getting ready to get my hat
         A         E         A          
When she caught my eye and I put it back
    B                A                        E    
And I ordered myself couple of more shots and beers
               G                     A            E    
The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
                 E               
Around and round around and round
G                              A              B   
The meanest hunk of woman that anybody'd ever seen
B7          B    
Down in the arena
        E                       
She was five foot six twofifteen
A                                        
A beach blonde mama with a streak of mean
B                               A                       E    
She knew how to knuckle and she knew how to scuffle and fight
B7      E                        
And the roller derby program said
             A                                    
That she was built like a 'fridgerator with a head
B        E          B         A                          E    
Her fans called her Tuffy but all her buddies called her Spike


[Chorus]
A E           G                          A            E

G                              A              B   
The meanest hunk of woman that anybody'd ever seen

[Verse]
       E7                                   
Well I could not help it but to fall in love
          A         A7                       A 
With this heavyduty woman I've been speaking of
B                               A       A7             E   
Things were kinda bad until the day she skated into my life
B7          E                  Em7         
■  Well she might be nasty she might be fat
      A7                                        
But I never met a person who would tell her that
         B7                      A7                         
She's my bleach blonde bomber my heavyhanded Hackensack mama


[Chorus]
E         G                          A            E    
The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
                 E               
Around and round around and round
G                              A              B   
The meanest hunk of woman that anybody'd ever seen
B                
Down in the arena
