    D5                              G5
The seniors threw a party down the end of Dutton Road
D5                            G5
 It was almost cold enough to snow
E5                                B5
 None of us could drive then so we had to get a ride
       C5                 G5  A5
In the back of someone's G-TO
D5                              G5
 She was in the keg line with a yellow plastic cup
D5                                    G5
 It was like I'd never seen a girl before
E5                          B5
 Puffy leather jacket and a healthy head of hair
         C5            G5        A5
With the hair she was six foot four
Bb5       B?(x2313x)   C5           C#?(xx2323) 
 I recognized.. her face.. right away

[chorus]
                D5
She was the town crotch
                    G5
She was good to go anytime
                D5
She was the town crotch
                       G5
But I loved her like she was mine
           A5                              G5
There's a lot of things I don't remember now
                        G5    G5    D5
But I remember the town crotch
                    G5    G5    D5
I remember the town crotch

  D5                          G5
I had a pint of So Co in the pocket of my coat
D5                             G5
 You can hardly taste the alcohol
E5                                 B5
 Watched her from a distance but I never said a word
      C5           G5          A5
I was young and I felt so small
Bb5      B5      C5          C#5
 I was no one then, who was I?


[repeat chorus]

G5                  G5               D5
 We stood around and drank a lot and leaned against the cars
G5                G5               D5
 Tried to beat the Winter, made it just under the wire
G5                 G5          D5
 We got drunk and loud under a thousand million stars
G5                   G5               A5
 Someone played Steve Miller, someone set some stuff on fire


    D5                             G5
The cops came by to bust us so we left the beer and ran
   D5                                G5
My head hurt and I couldn't find my ride
    E5                             B5
She pulled up in a Gremlin and she rolled the window down
          C5       G5       A5
She said "Hey kid, get inside".
Bb5          B5     C5                C#5
 Then she asked my name and drove me home


                D5
She was the town crotch
                    G5
She was good to go anytime
                D5
She was the town crotch
                       G5
But I loved her like she was mine
           A5                              G5
There's a lot of things I don't remember now
                        G5    G5    D5
But I remember the town crotch
                    G5    G5    D5
I remember the town crotch
                    G5    G5    D5
I remember the town crotch
