Biography:
Shannon and the Clams is an American indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, the band has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups.
Like a Beach Rock revival, Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud.

Shannon and The Clams - Backstreets
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
I am a run away, make-up upon my face
C
I find a place to hide inside a strangers mind
Dm
I play a crying game, I do not speak my name
Am
When you open your chest, this is what she said
Am
I am a run away, a road to any place
C
I show you the inside, worn like a tiger's eye
Dm
I can not escape this, my song will never rest
G
When you open your chest, this is what she said
[Chorus]
C Am
We're taking the backstreets where no one can find us
Dm G
Oh, where do we go when there's no place to run
C Am
Oh, we're taking the backstreets where no one can find us
Dm G
Oh, where do we go when there's no place to run
