[Verse 1]
B G#m
Mary Ann on the avenue, girl all dressed up in kinsington blue
E
Down where the hammer falls, she's gonna break within Whitetown walls
Em B E
Each and everything, slowly passes away, she moves along narrow streets
Em B F#
From a passing car, she hears the music playin', 'neath the L she starts to sway
[Chorus]
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B
Down in Whitetown
[Verse 2]
B
Johhny's just tryin' to make his way
G#m
He's got a job, and mister, it don't pay
F# E
He sits and counts the scars, on a stool at the end of Whitetown bar
Em B
And the old man here, piss their lives way
E
Drinkin' and joking about the cock fightin' days
Em B
Ain't no answers here, just the passing fear
F#
Spending the rest of their days
[Chorus]
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B
Down in Whitetown
[Bridge/Instrumental]
G#m E B
Youu, ohhhh oh whoa,
G#m E B
Youu, ohhhh oh whoa,
[Bridge]
G#m E
In a dream salvation comes, with a beat
B F#
All the sound of breaking glass, and muddy feet
G#m E F#
The beat that echoes down through the street, Mary Anne dances on
[Chorus]
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B F#
Down in Whitetown
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
B
Down in Whitetown
[Outro]
G#m E B
Youu, ohhhh
G#m E B fade
Youu, ohhhh
