DbAb/CBbmGbAbDb
There's a downtown corner, people downtown know
Ab/CBbmGbAbDb
And a back beat rhythm on the ra...di...o
And a girl who listens to a young man's song
On the block I live on in the place I'm from
With a young man sitting on the dock of the bay
He took a long-term trip on a first class plane
Now the whole world listens to that one man's song
On the block I live on in the place I'm from
Gb
Tell me, does it
DbAb/C
Move you does it
BbmAbGb
Soothe you does it
DbAb/C
Fill your heart and soul
BbmAbGb
With the roots of rock & roll
DbAb/C
Move you does it
BbmAbGb
Soothe you does it
DbAb/C
Fill your heart and soul
BbmAb
With the roots of rock & roll
Solo: DbAb/CBbmGbAbDb
Well the men in black sits on a screened in porch
Making birthday wishes 71 almost
You can hear him singing Chariot Swing Low
On the block I live on in the place I know
Solo: EB/EbDbmABEA
Tell me, does it
EB
Move you does it
DbmBA
Soothe you does it
EB
Fill your heart and soul

With the roots of rock & roll, does it
EB
Move you does it
DbmBA
Soothe you does it
EB
Fill your heart and soul
DbmBAE
With the roots of rock & roll

I've been there before
