Chords with lyrics
Transcribed by ear, using this Youtube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMjaTMwC64c
*I'm well aware that the G+G chord at the end of each chorus might not be correct (I
couldn't find a better sounding chord there, but feel free to correct this part in
the comments) but everything else should be close to, if not 100% correct.

Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds.

When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.
