[Verse 1]
A D A
I'd like to say, "Adios, my friend" and go down to old Mexico
F#m D E A E
I'd like to say, "Goodbye, my love," and move up to Ontario
D A E D A
But they stop me at the borderline, said, "Who's the real wetback this time?"
[Chorus]
A D
And that's old town rock and roll
A D
Old town rock and roll
A E D A D A D
Old town rock and roll
[Verse 2]

Well, I used to know a girl down here, pour flowers in her hair
F#m D E A E
She danced around the jukebox, son, said she'd follow me anywhere
D A E D A
Well, I think of her from time to time, standing in the welfare line
E A E
Thinkin' about all the places we were supposed to go
D A E D A
Well, the smoke stacks will make you cough, I'm tired of being laid off

Well, I used to have a band down here in my old neighborhood
F#m D E A E
Sometimes we'd just get drunk, sometimes we sounded good

But their ain't no new songs to sing, just karaoke and buffalo wings
[Chorus]

And that's old town rock and roll
A D
Old town rock and roll
A E D A
Old town rock and roll
[Verse 4]
A D A
Well, I should have gone to school, I guess, instead of goin' downtown to get a dime
F#m D E A E
Should have kept my old car from runnin' outta gas that time
D A E A D A
Well, I got a lotta I.O.U.s, I mean, come on man, what are you supposed to do?
[Chorus]

With old town rock and roll
