BG#m
Mary Ann on the avenue, girl all dressed up in kinsington blue
E
Down where the hammer falls, she's gonna break within Whitetown walls
EmBE
Each and everything, slowly passes away, she moves along narrow streets
EmBF#
From a passing car, she hears the music playin', 'neath the L she starts to sway
[Chorus]
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B
Down in Whitetown
[Verse 2]
B
Johhny's just tryin' to make his way
G#m
He's got a job, and mister, it don't pay
F#E
He sits and counts the scars, on a stool at the end of Whitetown bar
EmB
And the old man here, piss their lives way
E
Drinkin' and joking about the cock fightin' days
EmB
Ain't no answers here, just the passing fear
F#
Spending the rest of their days
[Chorus]
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B
Down in Whitetown
[Bridge/Instrumental]
G#mEB
Youu, ohhhh oh whoa,
G#mEB
Youu, ohhhh oh whoa,
[Bridge]
G#mE
In a dream salvation comes, with a beat
BF#
All the sound of breaking glass, and muddy feet
G#mEF#
The beat that echoes down through the street, Mary Anne dances on
[Chorus]
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
BF#
Down in Whitetown
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
BE
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B
Down in Whitetown
[Outro]
G#mEB
Youu, ohhhh
