Mainstreet chords
Bob Seger *

D C G Em 2x

    D                                C       G  Em
I remember standing on the corner at midnight,
                 D         C  G  Em
Tryin' to get my courage up
               D                               C            G  Em
There was this long, lovely dancer in a little club downtown
                     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     G
Her body softly swayin' to that smoky beat

        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet
        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet

       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    G
As she made her way alone down that empty street

        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet
        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet

    Bm             Bsus2                 Bm         Bsus2
And sometimes even now, when I'm feelin' lonely and beat,
  F#m           G           Em      G
I drift back in time, and I find my feet

        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet
        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet
        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet
        D         C G Em
Down on Mainstreet
