MAINSTREET      -       Bob Seger

intro    D - C - G - Em  2x

     D                       C         G          Em       
I re-  member standing on the  corner at  midnight 
                 D            C - G - Em                       
Trying to get my  courage up 
              D                        C               G      Em 
There was this  long lovely dancer in a  little club down-  town 
                     D               C - G - Em                
I loved to watch her  do her stuff 
            Bm          Bsus2       Bm                Bsus2         
Through the  long lonely    nights she  filled my sleep 
    F#m         G               Em           A7Sus4               
Her  body softly  swaying to that  smoky beat 
        D             C - G - Em                               
Down on  mainstreet 

 D - C - G - Em

       D               C                G        Em        
In the  pool halls, the  hustlers and the  losers 
                    D                    C - G - Em            
I used to watch 'em  through the glass 
         D               C               G - Em              
Well I'd  stand outside at  closing time 
                  D               C - G - Em                   
Just to watch her  walk on past 
       Bm           Bsus2                 Bm               Bsus2    
Unlike  all the other  ladies, she looked so  young and sweet 
       F#m     G                    Em            A7Sus4          
As she  made her  way alone down that  empty street 
        D            C - G - Em                                
Down on  mainstreet 

 D - C - G - Em

    Bm             Bsus2                 Bm              Bsus2      
And  sometimes even   now, when I'm feeling  lonely and beat 
  F#m           G          Em            A7Sus4                   
I  drift back in  time and I  find my feet 
        D            C - G - Em                                
Down on  mainstreet 
        D            C - G - Em                                
Down on  mainstreet
