A                                   Bm 
Now in the street there is violence

And a lots of work to be done

No place to hang out our washing 
A                                      Bm 
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 
A                               Bm 
And then we'll take it higher

Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 
     A                       Bm 
And then we'll take it higher
