Verse: 
C#               G#          F#  
There's a downtown corner,  
F#  
People downtown know.

And a backbeat rhythm, 
F#                 C# 
On my radio. 
C#    G#          F# 
The girl who listens, 
F#                        C#  
to that one man's song. 
C#          G#         F# 
On the Block I live on, 
F#                   C# 
In the place im from.

Verse: Well the young man sitting, 
On the dock of the bay.

On a first class plane.

To that one man's song.

In the place im from

Well the man in black sits, 
On a screened in porch. 
Making birthday wishes,

Chariot swing low.

In the place I know.
