Intro chords:
A - A - D - Bm (listen to the song for the rythm)
A
Joey comes from a sacred part of town
F#m
Where sometimes you talk so tough
Your feet don't touch the ground
A
And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnight blues
F#m
While the old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you
A D
They say: oh yeah
A D
We were cruising to the backbeat
A D E
Oh yeah, making love in the backseats
[intro chords]
We were wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
A member of the boy's brigade
Had a date with the girl next door
You know it made her daddy crazy
But it only made her want him more
They weren't looking for trouble
You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
So she headed out thru her bathroom window
What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright
They say: oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Solo, with intro chords
Sometimes this town ain't pretty
But you know it ain't so bad
Just like a girl who looks so happy
When inside she's so, so sad
In here we got this code of honor
No one's going down
You don't walk in vain
Through the kid's parade
'Cause this is my home town
