Verse:
E  D       A                       E  D           A 
   There's a place called downtown,     where the hippies all go
E  D       A                          E  D          A
       and they dance the Charleston,      and they do the limbo
E  D       A                   E  D            A
      The hippies all go there     'cause they want to be seen.
                                         e-5-5-5-5-5-5\
                                         b-5-5-5-5-5-5\
E  D       A                       E  D          A
  It's like a room full of pictures      It's like a psychedelic dream

Verse: (same chord style as first verse)
Yeah it's right around the corner, up and down the hill
When you hear the band playing, it's gonna give you a chill
Give your money to the gateman, young blood in his eye
Hold on to your baby, when you slip into the sky

Verse:
Jimmy's playin in the backroom, Led Zeppelin's on stage
There's a mirror ball twirlin, and a note from Page
Like a water-washed diamond in a river of sin
Goin' down like a whirlpool when you get sucked in
