                       C
Well the street lights shine,
        F           C   G
down on Blessing Avenue
                 C
Lovers they walk by,
F                    G
holding hands two by two

                     C
A breeze crosses the porch,
F                    C     G
bicycle spokes spin around
                         C
Jacket’s on, I’m out the door;
F                           G
tonight I’m gonna burn this town down

        F                     C
And the girls in their summer clothes,
       F                   C
in the cool of the evening light
    F                     C
The girls in their summer clothes,
        G
pass me by

                  C
Kid’s rubber ball smacks,
        F                       C     G
off the gutter beneath the lamp light
               C
Big bank clock chimes,
           F                  G
off go the sleepy front porch lights

                      C
Downtown the store’s alive,
       F              C   G
as the evening’s underway
                     C
Things been a little tight,
      F                          G
but I know they’re gonna turn my way

        F                     C
And the girls in their summer clothes,
       F                   C
in the cool of the evening light
    F                     C
The girls in their summer clothes,
        G
pass me by

          C
Frankie’s Diner’s,
F                   C
over on the edge of town
F                   Am
Neon sign spinning around,
       F                       C     F
like a cross over the lost and found

            C
Fluorescent lights,
F                   C
flicker above Bob’s Grill;
F                                  C
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks ¨fill?¨
          F                            C  F    G
And says ¨penny for your thoughts now, my poor Bill¨

          C
She went away,
    F             C    G
she cut me like a knife
                C
Had a beautiful thing,
      F                 G
maybe you just saved my life

   F      Am
In just a glance,
F                  C     G
down here on Magic Street
                Am
Love’s a fool’s dance,
        F                           C   F  G
I ain’t got much sense, but I still got my feet

        F                     C
And the girls in their summer clothes,
       F                   C
in the cool of the evening light
    F                     C
The girls in their summer clothes,
        G
pass me by

        F                     C
And the girls in their summer clothes,
       F                   C
in the cool of the evening light
    F                     C
The girls in their summer clothes,
        G
pass me by

         C      F              C   G
La la la li, la la la la la la li
         C      F              G
La la la li, la la la la la la li
         C      F              C   G
La la la li, la la la la la la li
         C      F              G
La la la li, la la la la la la li
