Verse 1:
G+G            C majorC        D MajorD        G+G
Her midnight boys are outside, scraping tears up off the street.
      E minorEm         A minorAm      D MajorD      G+G
Standing guard beneath the window, where only Linda sleeps.
   E minorEm          C majorC          D MajorD     G+G
The leader is a kid named Eddy, walkin like an angel in defeat.
 E minorEm           A minorAm      D MajorD
He trashes her old man's car, slashes Linda's name in the seat,

and he calls out

Chorus:
 G+G           C majorC       D MajorD
Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one.
G+G            C majorC       D MajorD
Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one.

Verse 2:
G+G             C majorC    D MajorD     G+G
In an old room full of contenders, Eddy spars
    E minorEm            A minorAm   D MajorD        G+G
'Til he drops to his bed and surrenders, draped in the scarves
     E minorEm         C majorC      D MajorD          G+G
That he stole from Linda's bedroom, the night he laid at her feet.
       E minorEm         A minorAm           D MajorD
While the midnight boys were stranded, down on Cason street.

and he calls out

Chorus:
 G+G           C majorC       D MajorD
Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one.
 G+G           C majorC       D MajorD
Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one.

Verse 3:
     G+G       C majorC   D MajorD          G+G
In the basement of St Mary's, Eddy hides from the rain.
E minorEm          A minorAm         D MajorD       G+G
In with the stolen sisters, until the streets are dry again.
 E minorEm          C majorC
Talkin fast cars and spare parts
D MajorD         G+G
Empty homes and broken hearts.
 E minorEm         A minorAm         D MajorD
Distant worlds and strange girls, and kneeling with Linda in the dark.

Chorus:
 G+G           C majorC       D MajorD
Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one.
G+G               C majorC      D MajorD
Linda let me be the one no no noooo oh ho whoa whoa whoa whoa
