Intro: C       F        C         F 

                       C 
Well the street lights shine 
        F               C            G 
Down on Blessing Avenue 
                 C 
Lovers they walk by 
F                     G 
Holdin' hands two by two 

                     C  
A breeze crosses the porch 
F                    C               G   
Bicycle spokes spin 'round 
                         C 
Jacket's on, I'm out the door 
F                           G      
Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down 

        F                       C 
And the girls in their summer clothes 
        F                    C 
In the cool of the evening light 
    F                       C 
The girls in their summer clothes 
        G   
Pass me by 

                  C   
Kid's rubber ball smacks 
        F                       C              G    
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light 
               C   
Big bank clock chimes 
           F                  G  
Off go the sleepy front porch lights 

                       C   
Downtown the store's alive 
       F                C              G 
As the evening's underway 
                     C  
Things been a little tight 
      F                                G 
But I know they're gonna turn my way 

        F                       C 
And the girls in their summer clothes 
        F                    C 
In the cool of the evening light 
    F                       C 
The girls in their summer clothes 
        G   
Pass me by 

          Bb   
Frankie's Diner's 
                   F 
Over on the edge of town 
                  Am 
Neon sign spinnin' round 
        G                       C               F 
Like a cross over the lost and found 
             Bb              
Fluorescent lights 
                     F 
Flicker above Bob's Grill 
                                    Am 
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?" 
            G                          C   F    G 
And says "penny for your thoughts now my poor Bill" 

           C 
She went away 
    F             C             G   
She cut me like a knife 
                C 
Had a beautiful thing 
      F                  G        
Maybe you just saved my life 

   G#m     Am  
In just a glance 
F                  C            G        
Down here on Magic Street 
                 Am 
Love's a fool's dance 
        F                           C  F   G  
I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet 

        F                       C 
And the girls in their summer clothes 
        F                    C 
In the cool of the evening light 
    F                       C 
The girls in their summer clothes 
        G   
Pass me by 
        F                       C  
And the girls in their summer clothes 
        F                   G      G#m    
In the cool of the evening light 
    Am                      F 
The girls in their summer clothes 
        G   
Pass me by 

         C      F              C             G 
La la la la, la la la la la la la 
   G#m   Am     F              G 
La la la la, la la la la la la la 
         C      F              C             G   
La la la la, la la la la la la la 
   G#m   Am     F              G 
La la la la, la la la la la la la
