[Verse 1]
B                                                         G#m
Mary Ann on the avenue, girl all dressed up in Kensington blue

                                                                    E
Down where the hammer falls, she's born and bred within Whitetown walls

                   Em                  B                                 E
Each and every day, slowly passes away, she moves along the 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

                                                                      E
He sits and counts the scars, on a stool down the end of a Whitetown bar

                    Em                     B
And the old men 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#
Of spending the rest of your days
[Chorus]
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah

        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah

[Bridge]
     G#m                            E
In a dream salvation comes, with a beat

        B                                   F#
Or the sound of breaking glass and running feet

    G#m                               E                        F#
The beat that echoes down through the streets, Mary Anne dances on
[Chorus]
        B             E
Down in Whitetown, oh yeah

        B             F#

          G#m
You, ooo, ooo

           E
You, ooo, ooo

         B
Oh whoah oh
