Subject: Re:  Chris Gaines // Main Street

Main Street (Kennedy/Kirkpatrick/Yearwood)
Capo I  // ~ = pause
note:  this is as close to the performance from the nbc special i could 
get...  i did some changes to make it sound more dylan & acoustic like.

{G-G-D-D-C}
{G} One light {D} blinking off and {C} on
{G} Blood of {D} life in this town is {C} gone
{G} Lost all its {D} pieces but the {C} pawn
{G} Tomorrow stop {D} coming with the {C} dawn

Chorus:
My {G} dreams {C} 
I've {D} seen, things that {C} only seem to {G} happen on the {C} silver 
screen
When its {G} over there's no {C} walking out
Cause {G} I've been all they {C} talk about
This {Em} world ain't going {D} down
{~} On {C} main street

{G-G-D-D-C}

{G} Never did the {D} things I thought I {C} would
{G} Would left just {D} didn't know I {C} could
{G} Things don't {D} work out like they {C} should
{G} It ain't for {D} better but it's for {C} good
(Repeat chorus)

Break:
{G} Went to la with a {Em} friend of mine
Just to {C} see what it was all {Bm} about
{G} Hit the freeway and it {Em} blew my mind
Had to {C} find a way of getting {Bm}out
{G} She said {D} they say
{C} Hey you gotta live {G} alittle
{G} My mine {D} I fine
{C} Lost and a {G} livin either {C} there or the {D} middle 
{~} Of {C} main street

{G-G-D-D-C}

{G} Never did the {D} things I thought I {C} would
{G} Would left just {D} didn't know I {C} could
{G} Things don't {D} work out like they {C} should
{G} It ain't for {D} better but it's for {C} good
 (Repeat chorus)
