my first tab so dont be too rough haha

Tuning:EADGBE


Intro: C F C F C F G F (x4)

                 C
          I went walking, at street level, Feeling strange, and disheveled
          
                   F
          Past the abattoir and the glory holes Like a film noire,
          in the starring role

                      C
          To the side streets, kept my nose clean
          Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene Singing,

          C  F  C  F  C  F  G  F  C  
          oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
          F  C  F  C  F  G  F
          Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

                  C
          This is Detroit, see the skyline
          A commotion on the assembly line

                  F
          Raise a glass to the Ambassador
          As she's moving you to the dance floor

          G
          Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
          Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?

         In The Space do a C Chord with an added note on the third fret
         of the high E string.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sam_roberts/detroit_67_crd_ver_2.html ]
         Am             Em
         So many years, so many lives
         Am            G                         C F C F C F G F
         These are the streets where they collide

         Am               Em
         From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
         Am               G         F
         Some look ahead, I'm going back

        F
        Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
        To ease the vice that squeezes us every day


       Fill With C Chord With added note earlier

        C
        This was Motown, this was New France
        Where the Chippewa did the firedance

       F
       That was long ago
       This is here and now
       But the memory still remains somehow Singing

      C  F  C  F  C  F  G  F  C  
      oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
      F  C  F  C  F  G  F
      Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh


               C
       I can't tell you how this old story ends
       I can't touch you now, like they did back then

       
                F
       Past the child's play with the jump rope
       Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope

      G
      Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
      Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?

      G
      Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
      Somebody call the riot police, there's trouble down on 12th Street


      Ending: Either C F C F C F G F (x8)

              or Special C Chord you saw earlier for the rest of the song.
