The Hollies are a well-respected British beat and rock and roll band that formed in the early 60s. Initially they had a squeaky-clean image and were famous for their rich vocal harmonies, rivaling those of The Beach Boys. Between 1964 and 1969, only two Hollies songs failed to reach the UK Top 10. Their most famous member was Graham Nash, who left in 1968 to form the folk supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash. Two of the core members, drummer Bobby Elliott and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, still perform with The Hollies into the new millennium.

Chorus: BbD#BbD#Bb I know that we could have made it; we had ideas in our heads. D#BbD#Bb And I wish somehow we could have saved it but we're Gasoline Alley bred. D#BbD#Bb Yet the years haven't really been wasted and I know it in my head. D#BbD# We did good for the life that we've tasted cause we're Gasoline Alley D#mBb Gasoline Alley bred
Woman, you can really believe it, I did everything a man could do. Breaking my back just to make us a dime. That won't mean a damn when no one wants to know you.
Woman, I know how you're feeling. I've seen the hurt upon your face. How many time do you think that I've cried? Knowing every day that your heart was getting broken, Holdin' back your pride til you were nearly chokin' Oh, let's get away, baby.
Chorus
G#Bb Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred (repeat to fade)
