Intro   Eb6 C# Abmaj7 Fm7 Eb C# Ab6


     Eb6                                C#6     Abmaj7 Fm7
I remember standin` on the corner at midnight
                 Eb          C#  Abmaj7  Fm7
Trying to get my courage up
               Eb6                            C#            Ab Fm
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
                   Eb           C#  Abmaj7 Fm7
Loved to watch her do her stuff
            Cm                                         Gm7
Through the long lonely nights     she filled my sleep
                Ab              Fm           Bb
Her body softly swayin` to that smoky beat
         Eb        C#  Ab6
Down on Mainstreet
         Eb        C#  Ab6
Down on Mainstreet

       Eb             C#                Ab     Fm
In the pool halls the hustlers and the losers
                  Eb                C#  Ab  Fm7
Used to watch `em through the glass
         Eb               C#             Ab  Fm
Well I`d stand outside at closin` time
                  Eb           C#6  Ab  Fm  Cm
Just to watch her walk on past

Unlike all the other ladies she looked so young and sweet
       Gm7                Ab           Fm           Ab
As she made her way alone    down that empty street
        Eb          C#  Abmaj7  Fm7
Down on Mainstreet
        Eb          C#  Ab  Fm
Down on Mainstreet             ooooohhhh

               Gm7                  Cm              Gm7  Cm
Sometimes even now when I`m feelin` lonely and beat
                Abmaj7                  Bb
I drift back in time and I find my feet
        Eb          Bbm7  Eb  Bbm
Down on Mainstreet
        Eb          Bbm7  Eb  Bbm7
