     Greg, 
              Here's another but I'll warn it's a quickly done interpretation 
of Alabama's " Dancin, Shaggin on The Boulevard ". This was transcribed by 
Roger Owens and the only notes I'll add are that I won't guarantee the words 
are perfect and at the end of this song I believe the chord pattern changes 
back and forth from the Dbm7 Cm7 Bm7 to simply an F#7 In other words one 
time is a three chord movement down and the next is only the one chord

     Open: Bm7 A Bm7 A 
                  A                                D

Down on Beegis corner there are good ole boys 
           A                                  E 
And the Mother Fletcher's makin lotsa noise

And The Drifters underneath the Boardwalk 
          A                                 D 
At the Spanish Galleon and ole Fat Jacks 
A                                E 
Jukebox playin and the place is packed

     Got the top down and the traffic's slow 
D                                    E 
When it's Sun fun weekend we all go 
                 F#m                          D

     Well I'm hangin out down at Sloppy Joe's 
A                                  E 
They may doze but they never close 
              A                      D 
And the Bama boys at the bowery 
               A                                 E 
Well now they can't dance but they play for free 
        Chorus: They like...   They go...     They go... (F#7...)
