Intro:
G Bm Em D (x2)
G Bm
Standin' down on Main Street across from Mr Blues
Em D
In my faded leather jacket and my weathered Brogan shoes
G Bm
A chill north wind was blowin' but the spring was comin' on
Em D
As I wondered to myself just how long had I been gone
C D
So I strolled across old Main Street, walked down a flight of stairs
G C
Stepped into the hall and saw all my friends were there
G D
A neon sign was flashin' "Welcome come on in"
C D G
It feels so good feelin' good again
G Bm Em D
G Bm
My favorite band was playing' an Otis Redding song
Em D
When they sang the chorus everybody sang along
G Bm
Dan and Margarita were swayin' side by side
Em D
I heard they were divorcin' but I guess they let it slide
C D
And I wished I had some money with which to buy a round
G C
I wished I'd cashed my paycheck before I came to town
G D
But I reached into my pocket found three twenties and a ten
C D G
It feels so good feelin' good again
G Bm Em D (x2)
G Bm
There was old man Perkins sittin' on his stool
Em D
Watchin' Butch and Jimmy John talkin' loud and playing pool
G Bm
The boys from Silver City were standin' by the fire
Em D
Singin' like they thought they were the Tabernacle choir
C D
And I wanted you to see them all, I wished that you were there
G C
I looked across the room and saw you standin' on the stair
G D
And when I caught your eye I saw you break into a grin
C D G
It feels so good feelin' good again
{G Bm Em D}
C D
I wanted you to see them all, I wished that you were there
G C
I looked across the room and saw you standin' on the stair

And when I caught your eye I saw you break into a grin
C D G
It feels so good feelin' good again
