Downtown In the pinball arcade
          G/AG/A      A augmentedA             E MajorE
With his head full of pool hall pitches And songs from the hit parade
         G+G                   F#4 F#F#
He'd be singing "Bye, Bye, Love" While he's racking up his free play
            G+G          E MajorE
Let those rock 'n' roll choir boys Come and carry us away
      Asus4Asus4        A augmentedA              E MajorE
Sometimes Chickie had the car Or Ron had the car Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hotwire head
       C#9sus C#9C#9     B9sus   B9B9       E MajorE
We'd all go looking for a party  Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
      Asus4Asus4          A augmentedA            E MajorE
And I'd be kissing in the back seat Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said

♫ Chorus:
