[Em]
[F#] [C#] Downtown, [B] my darling, dime store thief [E]
In [G] the war of [A] independence, rock and roll
[E] rang sweetest victory [G] Under neon signs, the girl [B] was in blue
[F#] And a woman [G] was fading [F#m] in a [E] suburban room I said, you take me [A] to the dance, do you wanna
dance?
[E] I love the dance, and I [B] told her, they [C#] don't take [F#m] chances, they [B] seem so [E] removed from
romance [Em] [A] Broken in churches and schools and molded
to middle [E] class circumstance And we were rolling, [Bm] [Dm] rolling, [G] rock [D] and [Em] rolling
[E]
[F#m] [B] Downtown, the dance halls and [E] cafes Feel [Em] so wild you could break [A] somebody's heart
just doing the [E] latest dance creeps [G] Gail and Louise in those push [F#]-up brassieres
Tight dresses [G] and rhinestones, [F#m] drinking [E] up the band's beers
Yolo [A] was kissing under bridges, kissing in cars, kissing [E] in cafes
And we [C#] were walking down Main [B] Street, kisses like bright [E] flames
hung on holidays, [A] and fancy kiss on Main Street, a [B] more mama, [E] not cheap display
And [Bm] we were [A] rolling, [D] rolling, [G] rock [D] and [Em] rolling
[Bm] [F] [Em] [D] [E]
[Em]
[E] [A] [B] Downtown, in the [E] pinball arcade With his [Em] head full of pool [A] hall pictures
and [E] songs from the hit parade He'd be [G] singing, bye bye love
and [F#] he's cracking up his free play Let those [G] rock and roll choir [E] boys come and
carry us away [A] Sometimes Chicky had the car, or Ron had
the cock, [E] or they put Melvin with his hot wire head
[B] We'd all go [C#] looking for [B] a party, looking to [E] raise Jesus' love from the dead
And they'd be [A] kissing in the backseat, thrilling to [E] the brand or like things that he said
And [F#m] we'd be rolling, [D]
[F] rolling, [G] [Bm] rock and [Em] rolling
[E] [Em] Rolling, [D] [F] rolling, [Em] rock [D] and rolling
