Drop D, Capo 3

    D                              G
The seniors threw a party down the end of Dutton Road
D                            G
 It was almost cold enough to snow
Em                                Bm
 None of us could drive then so we had to get a ride
       C                 G  A7
In the back of someone's G-TO
D                              G
 She was in the keg line with a yellow plastic cup
D                                    G
 It was like I'd never seen a girl before
Em                          Bm
 Puffy leather jacket and a healthy head of hair
         C            G        A7
With the hair she was six foot four
Bb       Bdim(x2313x)   C           C#dim(xx2323) 
 I recognized.. her face.. right away

[chorus]
                D
She was the town crotch
                    G
She was good to go anytime
                D
She was the town crotch
                       G
But I loved her like she was mine
           A                              G
There's a lot of things I don't remember now
                        G/C    G    D
But I remember the town crotch
                    G/C    G    D
I remember the town crotch

  D                          G
I had a pint of So Co in the pocket of my coat
D                             G
 You can hardly taste the alcohol
Em                                 Bm
 Watched her from a distance but I never said a word
      C           G          A7
I was young and I felt so small
Bb      Bdim      C          C#dim
 I was no one then, who was I?


[repeat chorus]

G/C                  G               D
 We stood around and drank a lot and leaned against the cars
G/C                G               D
 Tried to beat the Winter, made it just under the wire
G/C                 G          D
 We got drunk and loud under a thousand million stars
G/C                   G               A7
 Someone played Steve Miller, someone set some stuff on fire


    D                             G
The cops came by to bust us so we left the beer and ran
   D                                G
My head hurt and I couldn't find my ride
    Em                             Bm
She pulled up in a Gremlin and she rolled the window down
          C       G       A7
She said "Hey kid, get inside".
Bb          Bdim     C                C#dim
 Then she asked my name and drove me home


                D
She was the town crotch
                    G
She was good to go anytime
                D
She was the town crotch
                       G
But I loved her like she was mine
           A                              G
There's a lot of things I don't remember now
                        G/C    G    D
But I remember the town crotch
                    G/C    G    D
I remember the town crotch
                    G/C    G    D
I remember the town crotch

G/C(x32033)    G    D
