I remember standing on the corner at midnight,
D C G Em
Tryin' to get my courage up
D C G Em
There was this long, lovely dancer in a little club downtown
D C G Em
I loved to watch her do her stuf f
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 FBer body softly G Em G/A
Through the long, lonely nights, she filled my sleep, swayin' to that smoky beat
Chorus (w/riff):

D C G Em
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers,
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Solo (over chords)
And sometimes even now, when I'm feelin' lonely and beat,
I drift back in time, and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet, down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet, down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet, down on Mainstreet
