[Verse 1]
    A                        D                         A
I'd like to say, "Adios, my friend" and go down to old Mexico
    F#m                       D                     E        A E
I'd like to say, "Goodbye, my love," and move up to Ontario
         D                    A    E       D                           A
But they stop me at the borderline, said, "Who's the real wetback this time?"

[Chorus]
           A                    D
And that's old town rock and roll
A                  D
Old town rock and roll
A        E  D        A    D  A  D
Old town    rock and roll

        A                        D                  A
Well, I used to know a girl down here, pour flowers in her hair
    F#m                        D                         E         A E
She danced around the jukebox, son, said she'd follow me anywhere
        D                         A    E  D                       A
Well, I think of her from time to time,   standing in the welfare line
                                                  E    A E
Thinkin' about all the places we were supposed to go
          D                          A     E     D                   A
Well, the smoke stacks will make you cough,  I'm tired of being laid off

[Chorus]
           A                  D
And that's old town rock and roll
A                 D
Old town rock and roll
A        E  D        A
Old town    rock and roll

[Verse 3]
        A                        D              A
Well, I used to have a band down here in my old neighborhood
F#m                     D                   E             A E
Sometimes we'd just get drunk, sometimes we sounded good
          D                     A    E         D                A
But their ain't no new songs to sing,  just karaoke and buffalo wings

[Chorus]
           A                    D
And that's old town rock and roll
A                    D
Old town rock and roll
A        E  D        A
Old town    rock and roll

Well, I should have gone to school, I guess, instead of goin' downtown to get a dime
F#m                     D                      E             A E
Should have kept my old car from runnin' outta gas that time
        D               A            E       A    D                        A
Well, I got a lotta I.O.U.s, I mean, come on man, what are you supposed to do?

[Chorus]
     A                    D
With old town rock and roll
A                   D
Old town rock and roll
A        E  D        A
Old town    rock and roll
