   Eb6Eb6                C#6C#6   Abmaj7Abmaj7 Fm7Fm7
I remember standin` on the corner at midnight
         Eb MajorEb     C#C# Abmaj7Abmaj7 Fm7Fm7
Trying to get my courage up
        Eb6Eb6              C#C#      AbAb F minorFm
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
          Eb MajorEb      C#C# Abmaj7Abmaj7 Fm7Fm7
Loved to watch her do her stuff
      C minorCm                     Gm7Gm7
Through the long lonely nights   she filled my sleep
        AbAb       F minorFm      Bb majorBb
Her body softly swayin` to that smoky beat
     Eb MajorEb    C#C# Ab6Ab6
Down on Mainstreet
     Eb MajorEb    C#C# Ab6Ab6
Down on Mainstreet

    Eb MajorEb       C#C#        AbAb   F minorFm
In the pool halls the hustlers and the losers
         Eb MajorEb        C#C# AbAb Fm7Fm7
Used to watch `em through the glass
     Eb MajorEb        C#C#       AbAb F minorFm
Well I`d stand outside at closin` time
         Eb MajorEb      C#6C#6 AbAb F minorFm C minorCm
Just to watch her walk on past

Unlike all the other ladies she looked so young and sweet
    Gm7Gm7        AbAb      F minorFm      AbAb
As she made her way alone  down that empty street
    Eb MajorEb     C#C# Abmaj7Abmaj7 Fm7Fm7
Down on Mainstreet
    Eb MajorEb     C#C# AbAb F minorFm
Down on Mainstreet       ooooohhhh

Eb MajorEb C#6C#6 AbAb Fm7Fm7 Eb MajorEb C#C# Abmaj7Abmaj7 Fm7Fm7 Eb MajorEb C#6C#6 Abmaj7Abmaj7 F minorFm Eb MajorEb C#6C#6 Ab6Ab6 C minorCm


        Gm7Gm7         C minorCm       Gm7Gm7 C minorCm
Sometimes even now when I`m feelin` lonely and beat
        Abmaj7Abmaj7         Bb majorBb
I drift back in time and I find my feet
    Eb MajorEb     BbM7Bbm7 Eb MajorEb BbmBbm
Down on Mainstreet
    Eb MajorEb     BbM7Bbm7 Eb MajorEb BbM7Bbm7
Down on Mainstreet
