C                        
I rode my bicycle past your window last night 
F                        G7
I roller skated to your door at daylight
C
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
F                           G7
I'm OK alone but you've got something I need, well


CHORUS:
C
I've got a brand new pair of roller skates 

You've got a brand new key

I think that we should get together and

Try them on to see
F
I been lookin' around awhile
                     G7
You got something for me
C
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates

You got a brand new key

C
I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
F                        G7
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
C
For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world
F                 G7  
Some people say I done all right for a girl

C
I asked your mother if you were at home
F                G7   
She said yes, but you weren't alone
C
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me 
F                       G7
I'm OK alone but you got something I need, well

CHORUS:
C
I've got a brand new pair of roller skates 

You've got a brand new key

I think that we should get together and

Try them on to see
F
I been lookin' around awhile
                     G7
You got something for me
C
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates

You got a brand new key

I think it’s easiest to do -3 half steps down. It’s easier to sing and play the E7 :)

I think it sounds perfect when you transpose it up 1 half step. Just like the original :)
