1. I walked down to Kensington Market, bought me a fish to fry,

         C                         Dm                       G                  C

    I went to the Silver Dollar, looked a stranger in the eye.

          C                                                                                       Am

    A friend of mine says that he don't think this towns so out of sight,

           C                            Dm

    but he's got shades all 'round his soul

                  G                            C

    and he thinks he's seen the light, singing …

 

  C                                                                                          Am

Don't you wanna keep on moving, don't you wanna get undone ?

   C                                            F          C                         G               C

Don't you wanna change from losing, don't you wanna have some fun ?

 

    C                                                                                            Am

2. I went down to the Palm Grove, I was jumping around the room,

                 C                 Dm                        G                          C

    I was wearing my sneakers down and casting away my gloom.

              Am

    This fat girl came up and grabbed me, she sat me on her knee.

             C                               Dm

    She said you wrote that " Farmer's Song !",

                     G                          C

    and she spilled her drink on me, singing ….

 

  C                                                                                          Am

Don't you wanna keep on moving, don't you wanna get undone ?

   C                                            F          C                         G               C

Don't you wanna change from losing, don't you wanna have some fun ?

3. I went down by the  Henry Moore, skated on in the square,

              C                        Dm                   G                    C

    the moon above my shoulder and the ice was in my hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       C                                                              Am

    Alone but never lonely, that’s how I like  to be,

           C                                Dm                       G                                 C

    if I wanna have fun like a rock ‘n’ roll bum, don't think the worst of me.

 

    Singing ...

 

  C                                                                                          Am

Don't you wanna keep on moving, don't you wanna get undone ?
