A                                   Bm
Now in the street there is violence
A                              Bm
And a lots of work to be done
A                               Bm
No place to hang out our washing
A                                      Bm
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

[Chorus]:
A                                  Bm
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
A                               Bm
And then we'll take it higher
A                                    Bm
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
     A                       Bm
And then we'll take it higher

[Verse 2]
A
Workin' so hard like a soldier
A                       Bm
Can't afford a thing on TV
A                      
Deep in my heart I abhor ya
A                                 Bm
Can't get food for them kid, good God

[Chorus]
            A                          Bm
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
      A                        Bm
And then we'll take it higher
             A                              Bm
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
    A                   Bm
And then we'll take it higher

A
Oh no...
A       Bm
Oh no...
A
Oh no...
A       Bm
Oh no...

[Chorus]
            A                          Bm
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
      A                        Bm
And then we'll take it higher
             A                              Bm
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
    A                   Bm
