C Dm
She took off a silver locket
F C
she said remember me by this
C G
She put her hand in my pocket
F G Dm
I got a keepsake and a kiss
C Dm
And in the roar of the dust and diesel
F C
I stood and watched her walk away
C G
I could have caught up with her easy enough
F G Dm
But something must have made me stay
[Chorus]
C A# C F
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

[Bridge]
A# C Gm F A#
And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Gm F A#
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
Gm F A#
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
C
and rockaway rockaway
C

A# C A#
From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay
