πΈ Verse 1:
D
June had dark eyes
D C
She was a maker of the rain
C G
One side of her wild
G C
The other still like the plains
C D
She had smoke on her breath
D C
And a light on her face
C G
That said I don't want to be
G D
A stone no more
D
Well the full moon was high
D C
Hanging clear the air was sweet
C G
And the road was full of promise
G C
Like the wheels at her feet
C D
So she stole that old Mustang
D C
Took it round to her boyfriends
C G
And said I know a place
G D
We can go
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
D A
It's a long, long ride
A C
To the next town boy
C A G
If you want to start something new
A
Give me just a little
A C
And I'll give it back to you

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

πΈ Verse 2:
C D
Well they drove all night
D C
Into a pale pink dawn
C G
Across the great salt plains
G C
Through the eye of the storm
C D
Across the rivers and the deserts
D C
And the great divide
C G
Fast as lightning
G D
On a midnight mile
D
And they snuck into the back streets
D C
Of a backwater town
C G
And they idled at the gas station
C
Nobody round
C D
But then a voice came loud
D C
Saying hands in the air
C G
Turn the engine off
G D
And step outside
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
D A
It's a long, long ride
A C
To the next town boy
C A G
If you want to start something new
A
Give me just a little
A C
And I'll give it back to you

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

πΈ Verse 3:
C D
Well they raced through the night
D C
June was mad as a loon
C G
And she laughed like thunder
G C
And she howled at the moon
C D
They flew across the interstate
C
Running from the law
C G D
She said now I ain't a stone no more
D
And the road was black and slick
D C
Like oil across the lake
C G
And they overshot a corner
C
Smashed right through the gate
C D
And they leapt into the sky
D C
And they floated off the ground
D G
And they steered towards the heavens
G C
And they still ain't come back down
πΈ Chorus:
D C G D C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
D C G D C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
D C G D C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
D C G D C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
