There’s a downtown corner, people downtown know
           Ab/C  Bbm           Gb   Ab  Db
And a back beat rhythm on the ra...di...o

And a girl who listens to a young man's song

On the block I live on in the place I'm from

With a young man sitting on the dock of the bay

He took a long-term trip on a first class plane

Now the whole world listens to that one man's song

On the block I live on in the place I'm from

Tell me, does it
 Db            Ab/C
Move you does it
Bbm      Ab        Gb
Soothe you does it
           Db            Ab/C
Fill your heart and soul
              Bbm        Ab Gb
With the roots of rock & roll
 Db            Ab/C
Move you does it
Bbm      Ab        Gb
Soothe you does it
           Db            Ab/C
Fill your heart and soul
              Bbm        Ab
With the roots of rock & roll
