     Greg, 
              Here's another but I'll warn it's a quickly done interpretation 
of Alabama's ' Dancin, Shaggin on The Boulevard '. This was transcribed by 
Roger Owens and the only notes I'll add are that I won't guarantee the words 
are perfect and at the end of this song I believe the chord pattern changes 
back and forth from the Dbm7 Cm7 Bm7 to simply an F#7 In other words one 
time is a three chord movement down and the next is only the one chord 
 
 
                 Shaggin On the Boulevard by Alabama 
 
     Open: Bm7 A Bm7 A 
                  A                                D 
     Well the Magic Attic's where the music rolls 
           A                              E 
And the Army, Navy's got ole Jackies soul 
             A                                 D 
Down on Beegis corner there are good ole boys 
           A                                  E 
And the Mother Fletcher's makin lotsa noise 
                            Bm7                                   A 
     Chorus: They're dancin, shaggin on the Blvd. 2x 
 
                                                  D              
     Well the Tams are playin at the Port O' Call 
              A                              E 
And The Drifters underneath the Boardwalk 
          A                                 D 
At the Spanish Galleon and ole Fat Jacks 
A                                E 
Jukebox playin and the place is packed 
                                  Dbm7 Cm7 Bm7 
     Chorus: You bet...          You know... 
    F#m                                                   E 
     Got the top down and the traffic's slow 
D                                    E 
When it's Sun fun weekend we all go 
                 F#m                          D                   
Where the girls are sunnin and are lookin good 
Dbm7 Bm7                     E 
Well I never met 'em but I wish I could 
                                          Dbm7 Cm7 Bm7 
     Chorus: And we'd go...            We'd go... 
                   A                        D 
     Well I'm hangin out down at Sloppy Joe's 
A                                  E 
They may doze but they never close 
              A                      D 
And the Bama boys at the bowery 
               A                                 E 
Well now they can't dance but they play for free 
        Chorus: They like...   They go...     They go... (F#7...)
