In France They Kiss on Main Street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][D][Dm][F]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Asus4]Downtown
[A]My darling dime store thi[D]ef
In the War of In[Gsus4]dependence
[G]Rock 'n Roll rang as sweet as [D]victory
Under [F]neon signs
A girl was [Esus4]in bloom
[E]And a woman was [F]fad[Fsus4] ing
In [F]a subu[Esus4]rb an roo[D]m
I said, [G]"take me to the dance"
"Do you want to dance?"
"I [D]love to dance"
And I told him,
[Bsus4]"they don't take chances
They [Asus4]seem so remove[A]d
[D]from rom[Dsus4]ance"[D]
"They've been [G]broken in
churches and schools
And molded to [D]middle [Dsus4]class
circum[D]stance"
And we were [Dm]rolling, [F]rolling,
[Fsus4]rock n' roll[C]ing
[Dm][D]

[Verse 2]
[Asus4]Down town
[A]The dance halls and caf[D]es
Feel so wild you could [Gsus4]break
somebody's [G]heart
Just doing the latest dance [D]craze
[F]Gail and Louise
In those push-up [Esus4]brassieres
[E]Tight dresses and rhi[Fsus4]nestone rin[F]gs
[Asus4]Drinking up the [D]band's beers
Young love was [G]kissing under bridges
Kissing in cars, kissing in [D]cafes
And we were [Bsus4]walk ing
down [B]Main Street
[A]Kisses like bright [D]flags hung on holidays
"In [G]France they kiss on
Main Street"
"Amour, [D]mama, not cheap display"
And we were [G]rolling, rolling,
[F]rock n' [C]rolling[Dm]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Eb][F][C][Dm][D][Dm][D][Dm]
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Asus4]Downtown
[A]In the pin[D]ball arcade
With his head full of [Gsus4]pool hall pitches
[G]And songs from the hit[D] parade
He'd be singing [F]"Bye, Bye, Love"
While he's racking up his [Esus4]free play
[E]Let those rock 'n roll cho[F]ir boys
Come and carry [D]us away
Sometimes [G]Chickie had the car
Or Ron had the car
Or Lead Foot [D]Melvin with
his hot-wire head
head
We'd all go [Bsus4]looking for a party
[Asus4]Looking to raise J[A]e s[D]us
up from the dead
And I'd be [G]kissing in the back seat
Thrilling to the Brando-like
[D]things things that he said
And we'd be [A]rolling, [G]rolling,
[Eb]rock [F]n' [C]rolling[Dm][D]
[G]Rolling, [Dm]rolling,
[C]roc[Eb]k n' [F]rol[C]ling[D][Dm]
[G]Rolling, [C]rolling, [Eb]rock [F]n' [Am]rolling
