Where The Bands Are

Verse:
D                  A          D
I hear the guitars ringin' out
                 G         D
Ringin' out down Union Street
                       A                D
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl
                   G
I wanna be a slave to the beat
                      A
Yeah, tonight I wanna break my chains
          Bm
Somebody break my heart
          G
Somebody shake my brains
                            A
Downtown there's something that I wanna hear
            G                        A
There's a sound, little girl, keeps ringing in my ear

                      D      A
I wanna be where the bands are
                      D      G
I wanna be where the bands are
           D       A
Where the bands are
                     D        G D
I wanna be where the bands are


                          A                   D
I get off from work and I grab something to eat
                          G                  D
I turn the corner and I drive down your street
                            A               D
Little gray houses darling looks like nowhere
                       G
But hey I know you're hiding in there
                        A
Come on out for just a little while
               Bm
You know that heart of stone, girl
         G
It just ain't your style
                         A
Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd
            G
And when I tell you that I love you
                 A
I wanna have to shout it out loud

Shout it out loud

Shout it out loud


                     D        A
I wanna be where the bands are
                     D        G
I wanna be where the bands are
           D       A
Where the bands are
                     D        G
I wanna be where the bands are

D                  A               D
I hear the guitars ringin' out again
                G          D
Ringin' on down Union Street
                        A                  D
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out and girl
                   G
I wanna be a slave to the beat
                             A
And I want something that'll break my chains
              Bm
Something to break my heart
                G
Something to shake my brains
                                A
There's a rocker's special on tonight
    G
So meet me on down
           A
