Verse 1

F                    G                    Am
Me and Pooch we were from the west end of town
            F                           G                  Am
And all the kids on the streets used to hang at the corner playground
          F                   G
There was Billy and Bobby and Rikki the Knife
        Am                             G
And the girl I swear I'd love till the day I died
F                               G
In the summers outta school you knew just what to do

Chorus

C
On 10th Street
F                      G
There's no school like my old school
C
On 10th Street
F                        G
There's no food like the greasy spoon
C
On 10th Street
F                   G
There's no bar like Crazy Lou's
C
On 10th Street
F                   G
I wish that I could go back home

Verse 2

F                G                Am
I didn't want to be your whipping post
      F                     G               Am
But I pledge my love to the girl I love the most
F                        G
And old pal Bonio he was straining his neck
            Am                          G
I guess you got a little lovin' but you lost your respect
            F
Yeah me and Pooch we were laughin'
G
Yeah we always had a ball

Chorus

C
On 10th Street
F           G
Life was so simple then
C
On 10th Street
F             G
I miss all my good old friends
C
On 10th Street
F                      G
Give me a house with a picket fence
C
On 10th Street
F         G
That's my America

Turn Around

Dm           Em               F
But now they put up a parking lot
              Em
They made the people all get out
Dm                  Em
Damn the man with a plan to put an end
       F                   G
I said damn the man with a plan to put an end to
C            F    G    C     F   G
