[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
F#m/B
Downtown
      Bsus4   B                Emaj7
My darling dime store thief
                        G
In the War of Independence
Asus4              A                 E
Rock 'n' roll rang sweet as victory
  G
Under neon signs
                     F#
A girl was in bloom
                           G
And a woman was fading
                         E
In a suburban room
         Asus4
I said take me to the dance
           A
Do you want to dance?
       E
I love to dance

And I told him
Bsus4                   B
They don't take chances
Asus4        A      E
They seem so removed from romance
                  Asus4                           A
They've been broken in churches & schools
                                                  E
And molded to middle class circumstance

[Chorus]
                    Bsus4 B
And we were rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'

[Verse 2]
F#m/B
Downtown
      Bsus4             B         Emaj7
The dance halls and cafes
                                    G                             D
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
                                           E
Just doing the latest dance craze
                 G
Gail and Louise
                                  F#
In those push up brassieres
                                  G
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
                                      E
Drinking up the band's beers
                        Asus4
Young love was kissing under bridges
               A
Kissing in cars
                 E
Kissing in cafes
                      Bsus4             B
And we were walking down Main Street
Asus4            A           E
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
        Asus4                                 A
In France they kiss on Main Street
                                      E
Amour, mama, not cheap display

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
F#/B
Downtown
          Bsus4 B   E
In the pinball arcade
              Asus4             A
With his head full of pool hall pitches
                              Emaj7
And songs from the hit parade
                G
He'd be singing "Bye, Bye, Love"
                                              F#
While he's racking up his free play
                                  G
Let those rock 'n' roll choir boys
                                E
Come and carry us away
                 Asus4
Sometimes Chickie had the car
       A
Or Ron had the car
                       E
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hotwire head
                      Bsus4        B
We'd all go looking for a party
Asus4        A                    E
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
                   Asus4
And I'd be kissing in the back seat
A                                     E
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Bsus4 B
Rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
Bsus4 B
Rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
(Ritardando)
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
