Where The Bands Are

Verse:
D MajorD         A augmentedA     D MajorD
I hear the guitars ringin' out
         G+G     D MajorD
Ringin' out down Union Street
            A augmentedA        D MajorD
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl
          G+G
I wanna be a slave to the beat
           A augmentedA
Yeah, tonight I wanna break my chains
     B minorBm
Somebody break my heart
     G+G
Somebody shake my brains
              A augmentedA
Downtown there's something that I wanna hear

Little gray houses darling looks like nowhere
            G+G
But hey I know you're hiding in there
            A augmentedA
Come on out for just a little while

You know that heart of stone, girl

It just ain't your style
             A augmentedA
Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd
      G+G
And when I tell you that I love you

I wanna have to shout it out loud

Shout it out loud
