Intro    D - C - G - Em  (2x) 

     D                        C          G      Em        
I remember standing on the corner at midnight  
                 D        C - G - Em                        
Trying to get my courage up  
               D                       C             G      Em  
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club down-town  
                     D             C - G - Em                 
I loved to watch her do her stuff  
            Bm          Bsus2      Bm                Bsus2          
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep  
    F#m         G               Em           A7sus4                
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat  
        D           C - G - Em                                
Down on Main Street  

 D - C - G - Em 

       D                C                G        Em         
In the  pool halls, the hustlers and the losers  
                    D                    C - G - Em             
I used to watch 'em through the glass  
         D                C              G - Em               
Well I'd stand outside at closing time  
                  D              C - G - Em                    
Just to watch her walk on past  
        Bm           Bsus2                 Bm               Bsus2     
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet  
       F#m      G                   Em            A7sus4           
As she made her way alone down that empty street  
        D           C - G - Em                                 
Down on Main Street  

 D - C - G - Em 

    Bm             Bsus2                 Bm              Bsus2       
And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat  
  F#m           G          Em            A7sus4                    
I drift back in time and I find my feet  
        D            C - G - Em                                 
Down on Main Street  
        D            C - G - Em                                 
Down on Main Street
