In France They Kiss On Main Street
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
F#m/B
Downtown
Bsus4 B Emaj7
My darling dime store thief
G
In the War of Independence
Asus4 A E
Rock 'n' roll rang sweet as victory
G
Under neon signs
F#
A girl was in bloom
G
And a woman was fading
E
In a suburban room
Asus4
I said take me to the dance
A
Do you want to dance?
E
I love to dance
And I told him
Bsus4 B
They don't take chances
Asus4 A E
They seem so removed from romance
Asus4 A
They've been broken in churches & schools
E
And molded to middle class circumstance
[Chorus]
Bsus4 B
And we were rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
[Verse 2]
F#m/B
Downtown
Bsus4 B Emaj7
The dance halls and cafes
G D
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
E
Just doing the latest dance craze
G
Gail and Louise
F#
In those push up brassieres
G
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
E
Drinking up the band's beers
Asus4
Young love was kissing under bridges
A
Kissing in cars
E
Kissing in cafes
Bsus4 B
And we were walking down Main Street
Asus4 A E
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
Asus4 A
In France they kiss on Main Street
E
Amour, mama, not cheap display
[Chorus]
Bsus4 B
And we were rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
[Verse 3]
F#/B
Downtown
Bsus4 B E
In the pinball arcade
Asus4 A
With his head full of pool hall pitches
Emaj7
And songs from the hit parade
G
He'd be singing "Bye, Bye, Love"
F#
While he's racking up his free play
G
Let those rock 'n' roll choir boys
E
Come and carry us away
Asus4
Sometimes Chickie had the car
A
Or Ron had the car
E
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hotwire head
Bsus4 B
We'd all go looking for a party
Asus4 A E
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
Asus4
And I'd be kissing in the back seat
A E
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
[Chorus]
Bsus4 B
And we'd be rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rolling
[Outro]
Bsus4 B
Rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
Bsus4 B
Rollin'
Asus4 A
Rollin'
(Ritardando)
Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'

Downtown
My darling dime store thief
In the War of Independence
Rock 'n Roll rang as sweet as victory
Under neon signs
A girl was in bloom
And a woman was fading
In a suburban room
I said, "take me to the dance"
"Do you want to dance?"
"I love to dance"
And I told him, "they don't take chances
They seem so removed from romance"
"They've been broken in churches and schools
And molded to middle class circumstance"
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Downtown
The dance halls and cafes
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
Just doing the latest dance craze
Gail and Louise
In those push-up brassieres
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
Drinking up the band's beers
Young love was kissing under bridges
Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes
And we were walking down Main Street
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
"In France they kiss on Main Street"
"Amour, mama, not cheap display"
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Downtown
In the pinball arcade
With his head full of pool hall pitches
And songs from the hit parade
He'd be singing "Bye, Bye, Love"
While he's racking up his free play
Let those rock 'n roll choir boys
Come and carry us away
Sometimes Chickie had the car
Or Ron had the car
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hot-wire head
We'd all go looking for a party
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
And I'd be kissing in the back seat
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
And we'd be rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
