Am Am/B C
Way back on the radio dial
F C G
a fire got lit inside a bright eyed child
Am Am/B C
Every note just wrapped around his soul
F C G
from steel guitars to Memphis all the way to rock and roll
[Chorus]
F C Am G
Oh oh, I can hear them playing
F C Am G
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
F C Am G
oh oh, I can hear them singin
F C G C
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
Am G C F C G
[Verse]
Am Am/B C
Downtown is where I used to wander
F C G
old enough to get there but too young to get inside
Am Am/B C
I would stand out on the sidewalk
F C G
listen to the music playing every Friday night
[Chorus]
F C Am G
Oh oh, I can hear them playing
F C Am G
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
F C Am G
oh oh, I can hear them singin

Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
