Bob_Seager-Main_sreet MAIN STREET Intro: D C G Em D C G Em D C G Em I remember standing on the corner at midnight, D C G Em tr'n' to get my courage up. D C G Em There was this long, lovely dancer in a little club downtown. D C G Em I loved to watch her do her stuff. Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 F#m Through the long, lonely nights, she filled my sleep, G Em G/A Her body softly swayin' to that smoky beat D C G Em D C G Em Down on Main Street, down on Main Street In the pool hall, the hustlers and the losers, We used to watch 'em through the glass. Well I'd stand outside at closing time, Just to watch her walk on past. Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet As she made her way alone down that empty street, Down on Main Street, down on Main Street Solo:D C G Em (x4) Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 F#m And sometimes even now, when I'm feelin' lonely and beat, G Em G/A I drift back in time, and I find my feet D Am D Am D Am D Down on Main Street, down on Main street D Am D Am D Am D Down on Main Street, down on Main Street D Am D Am D Am D Down on Main STreet down on Main Street Am C G D D = XX0323 C = 332010 G = 320033 Em = 022000 Bm = 224432 Bsus2 = 224455 F#m = 244222 G/A = X05433 Am = X02210 > RE:-------------------------------------------------------- > Mainstreet - Bob Seger > Transcribed by ÐØ®ÎÂÑ ß£Üɧ (5/17/00) > > Notes: You may have to tune up a little > to match the recording...I had to anyway. > The solo break consists of D pentatonic major w/ an occasional > 4th played over the Em.

We have received tons of thankyous for these recommendations like this: Hi Greg, I've just finished the Amazing 7 day guitar course. I have really enjoyed seeing my playing improve in just 7 days. I love the exercises that incorporate learning the scales as that has always been a real challenge for me. I have felt stuck in my playing for a while now but after completing your course I am more confident, and more flexible! the style of teaching is very simple yet extremely effective way of teaching, and I'm enjoying all the extras I received.
