Verse 1
G 
Gm 
Well, I'm standing on the corner
G 
of the walk and don't walk
Try to read the
Gm 
C 
Spanish on the wall
Gm 
It takes fifteen thousand
G 
pounds of pressure
Just to stand on that corner
D 
G 
doing nothing at all
I was feeling just as broke as
the tank commanders
When the earth started shaking
C 
like a wash on a line
Gm 
G 
Everything went wrong
and it felt like
Christmas
Gm 
D 
G 
When the power fails, the police shine
C 
Come on, darling,
F 
G 
let's go downtown

G 
I'm not so good, but I can't sit down

F 
G 
I can't read and I can't write
A 
But this town's a riot on a
D 
Saturday night
G 
This town's a riot
This town
It is peace and hunger out the corner of
Hope
Street
A store selling
C 
X -rated wedding cake
The
Gm 
G 
Pope drove by and the bum's
got the bum's rush
D 
G 
God, it's just a horseback riding a lake
C 
F 
G 
This town ain't no cheap hotel
C 
F 
G 
There's no room to live on land
C 
F 
G 
This town's a riot, it's a  jumble
A 
It's right out of
Mumbo
D 
Jumbo, yeah
G 
This town's a riot
This town
A 
Amazed by what you see on
Main
Street
Climbing up on the
Goofy
Shore
C 
This town's a riot, it's a jungle
D 
So from the jail I stepped through your
G 
Gm 
G 
Gm 
G 
open door
Gm 
G 
D 
G 
Coming in with a view of
Channel 2
Gm 
G 
Wondering how much
C 
the lottery pays
Gm 
G 
Watch the miracle workers
cleaning up the wreckage
Lock you in before a month
D 
G 
of judgment days
C 
Come on, darling,
F 
G 
let's go downtown
C 
I'm washing up and I
F 
G 
can't sit down
C 
F 
I can't read and I can't write
G 
A

This town's a riot on a
Saturday night
