Verse:
DI remember standing on the corner at Cmidnight, G Em
Tryin' to get my Dcourage up C G Em
There was this Dlong, lovely dancer in a little Cclub downtown G Em
I loved to watch her Ddo her stufCf G Em
Through the Bmlong, lonely Bsus2nights, she Bmfilled my Bsus2sleep, F#m
Her body softly Gswayin' to that Emsmoky beatG/A
Chorus (w/riff):
Down on DMainstreetC G Em
Down on Mainstreet
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers,
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Solo (over chords)
And sometimes even now, when I'm feelin' lonely and beat,
I drift back in time, and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet, down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet, down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet, down on Mainstreet
The main riff is changed slightly during each chorus (it gets
simpler each time) and there is a piano accompaniment throughout.
Sorry I don?t have the solo yet; this is my first tab.
