Am Am/B C F F G


verse
Am  Am/B        C
Way back on the radio dial
  F        C            G
a fire got lit inside a bright eyed child
Am    Am/B      C
Every note just wrapped around his soul
     F               C               G
from steel guitar to Memphis all the way to rock and roll

Chorus  
F  C   Am              G
Oh oh, I can hear them playing
F              C            Am          G       
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
F  C   Am              G
oh oh, I can hear them saying
F       C             G                C           
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart

Am G C F C G 


Verse 
Am  Am/B    C
Downtown is where I used to wander
 F            C                 G
old enough to get there but too young to get inside
Am      Am/B  C
I would stand out on the sidewalk
 F            C             G
listen to the music playing every Friday night


Chorus 
F  C   Am              G
Oh oh, I can hear them playing
F              C            Am          G       
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
F  C   Am              G
oh oh, I can hear them saying
F       C             G                C           
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
