Tuning:EADGBEIntro: CFCFCFGF (x4)
C
I went walking, at street level, Feeling strange, and disheveled
F
Past the abattoir and the glory holes Like a film noire,
in the starring role
C
To the side streets, kept my nose clean
Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene Singing,
CFCFCFGFC
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
FCFCFGF
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
C
This is Detroit, see the skyline
A commotion on the assembly line
F
Raise a glass to the Ambassador
As she's moving you to the dance floor
G
Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?
In The Space do a C Chord with an added note on the third fret
of the high E string.
AmEm
So many years, so many lives
AmGCFCFCFGF
These are the streets where they collide
AmEm
From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
AmGF
Some look ahead, I'm going back
F
Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
To ease the vice that squeezes us every day
Fill With C Chord With added note earlier
C
This was Motown, this was New France
Where the Chippewa did the firedance
F
That was long ago
This is here and now
But the memory still remains somehow Singing
CFCFCFGFC
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
FCFCFGF
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
C
I can't tell you how this old story ends
I can't touch you now, like they did back then
F
Past the child's play with the jump rope
Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope
G
Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?
G
Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
Somebody call the riot police, there's trouble down on 12th Street
