[C]
I [F]went walking

[Verse 1]
[C]at street level
Feeling strange and [F]disheveled[C]
Pas[F]t the abattoir and the glory holes
Like a film noire in the starring role

[Verse 2]
To the side [C]streets, kept my nose [F]clean
[C]Tasted beautiful[F], tas[C]ted obscene
Singing, oh, [F]oh, oh, oh,
[C]oh,[F] oh[C], o[F]h, [C]oh, oh
[F]Oh, [C]oh,[F] oh, oh, oh, oh,[C] oh[F][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]troit, see the skyline
A commotion on the assembly line
Raise [F]a glass to the ambassador

[Verse 4]
As she's moving you to the dance floor
[G]Does anyone here tonight
Remember those times?
Can anyone here tonight

[Interlude 1]
Just tell me what they felt like?

[Am]These are the [G]streets where they collide[C]
[F]Fro[C]m[F][C][F][C][E][Am]
[E]Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
[Am]Some look ahea[G]d, I'm going back[F]
'Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
To ease the vice that [C]squeezes us

[Verse 6]
This [C]was [F]Mot[C]own, this
was New France
Where the Chippewa did the fire [F]dance
[C]That was long ago[F], this is here and now
But the memory still remains somehow
[C]Singing, [F]oh, oh, oh, oh, [C]oh, oh,
[F]oh, oh, [C]oh[F][C][F][C]
[F]Oh, oh, [C]oh, oh, [F]oh, [C]oh,[F] oh
[C]I can[F]'t tell

[Verse 7]
[C]you [F]how [C]this old story ends
I can't touch you now,
like they did back then
Pas[F]t the child's play
with the jump rope

[Verse 8]
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?

[Verse 9]
Does anyone here tonight [G]Remember
those times?
Somebody call the riot police
There's trouble down on
