B                                                         G#m
Mary Ann on the avenue, girl all dressed up in kinsington blue
                                                                E
Down where the hammer falls, she's gonna break within Whitetown walls
                      Em                 B                       E
Each and everything, slowly passes away, she moves along narrow streets
                    Em                           B                 F#
From a passing car, she hears the music playin', 'neath the L she starts to sway

[Chorus]
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B            
Down in Whitetown

[Verse 2]
B
Johhny's just tryin' to make his way
                                     G#m
He's got a job, and mister, it don't pay 
                                                        F#       E
He sits and counts the scars, on a stool at the end of Whitetown bar
                   Em                     B
And the old man here, piss their lives way
                                            E
Drinkin' and joking about the cock fightin' days
                     Em                     B
Ain't no answers here, just the passing fear
             F#                         
Spending the rest of their days 

[Chorus]
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B             
Down in Whitetown

[Bridge/Instrumental]
G#m         E           B      
Youu,    ohhhh          oh whoa, 

G#m         E           B      
Youu,   ohhhh           oh whoa, 

[Bridge]
   G#m                             E
In a dream salvation comes, with a beat
        B                                   F#
All the sound of breaking glass, and muddy feet
    G#m                               E                        F#
The beat that echoes down through the street, Mary Anne dances on

[Chorus]
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B             F#
Down in Whitetown 
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah
        B             
Down in Whitetown

[Outro]
G#m         E          B       
Youu, ohhhh
