Wild in the Streets

• A

 
          
              ({A}) Joey comes from a sacred part of town  
               Where sometimes you ({F#m}) talk so tough  
               Your feet don't touch the ground  
               And the  ({A}) sidewalk soldiers sing their midnite blues  
               While the ({F#m}) old men recite their story lines  
               About when I was young like you  
               Chorus:  
               They say: ({A}) Oh ({D})yeah  
               We were cruising to the backbeat ({A}) ({D})  
               ({A}) Oh  ({D}) yeah, making love in the ({E}) backseats  
               We were ({A}) wild, ({D})wild in the ({Bm}) streets  
               ({A}) Wild, ({D})wild in the ({Bm}) streets  
               A member of the ({A}) boy's brigade  
               Had a date with the girl next door  
               You know it made ({F#m}) her daddy crazy  
               But it only made her want him more  
               They weren't ({A}) looking for trouble  
               You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight  
               So she ({F#m}) headed out thru the bathroom window  
               What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright  
               Chorus  
               ({A}) Sometimes this town ain't pretty  
               But you know it ain't so bad  
               Just like a ({F#m}) girl who looks so happy  
               When inside she's so sad  
               In ({A}) here we got this code of honor  
               Nobody's going down  
               You don't ({F#m})walk in vain  
               Through the kid's parade  
               'Cause this is my hometown  
               Wild...
