There's a downtown corner, people downtown know
           Ab/C  Bbm           Gb   Ab  Db
And a back beat rhythm on the ra...di...o

And a girl who listens to a young man's song
On the block I live on in the place I'm from

With a young man sitting on the dock of the bay
He took a long-term trip on a first class plane
Now the whole world listens to that one man's song
On the block I live on in the place I'm from

                Gb
Tell me, does it
 Db             Ab/C
Move you does it
Bbm     Ab        Gb
Soothe you does it
           Db           Ab/C
Fill your heart and soul
                  Bbm     Ab Gb
With the roots of rock & roll
 Db             Ab/C
Move you does it
Bbm     Ab        Gb
Soothe you does it
           Db           Ab/C
Fill your heart and soul
                  Bbm     Ab
With the roots of rock & roll

Making birthday wishes 71 almost
You can hear him singing Chariot Swing Low
On the block I live on in the place I know
