The Time Warp
Rocky Horror
A riff (x2)

A riff B riff
It's astounding... time is fleeting
G riff D riff A riff
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely... not for very much longer
I've got to keep control

I remember doing the time warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me, and a void would be calling...

F C G D A riff
Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again

(No chord) E Thing
It's just a jump to the left
A
And then a step to the right
(No chord) E Thing
With your hands on your hips 
A riff
You bring your knees in tight
D
And it's a pelvic thrust
A
That really drives you insane

Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no, not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well secluded, I see all

With abyss of the mind flip, you're into the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation

Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again

A
Well I was walking down the street just havin' a think

When this snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
D
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
A
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes
E
He stared at me and I felt a change
A
Time meant nothing, never would again

Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
And it's a pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane

Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again... C# C B A

I wanted to keep things simple, so I left out all the character parts and stage cues. Most of the song is a variation on the "A riff" - just do the same thing in the B, G, and D positions. The "E thing" is pretty easy - you'll probably recognize it as soon as you work it out. This is all classic, straightforward rock 'n' roll - with a twist.
