Intro    D - C - G - Em  2x

     D                        C          G      Em       
I remember 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 Main Street 

 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 Main Street 

 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 Main Street 
        D            C - G - Em                                
Down on Main Street

In Bob Seger's version "I Think" his guitar is tuned a half step down! No need to do that, just find the key 
that you sing in... The chord progression here is correct. Just use a capo if you need to changed your 
voicing.
