That rhythm of town

I've got my hairspray and radio
F#7/A#
I'm ready to go
Bm
The rats on the street
Gm/A# A#7 --
All dance round my feet
D/A
They seem to say

"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh

Don't hold me back
G Em9 - A --
'Cause today all my dreams will come true

There's the bum on his bar room stool
D/A-Asus - A --
They wish me luck on my way to school
D/A - A7--Dsus2/4-D - D7/C
Good morning Baltimore

When i hear the groove

One more moment for my life to start...
