Amaj7 Mein Street D Amaj7 Was where we used to go: Gmaj7/A Dmaj7 Wedged behind the hospital, E7 A7 With everyone on show. Bmaj7 C#-7 Time fell out of sync Dmaj9 Bmaj7 As nudists gently blinked. F# A/E5

If that's your cup of tea, Bbmaj7 Bm7 E7 Amaj7 Then Mein Street was the place to be. Amaj7 Mein Street:         D Amaj7 The rooms were ten feet tall. Gmaj7/A Dmaj7 Psycho druggie nurses: E7 A7 The flatties knew them all! Bmaj7 C#-7 Endless jamming musos; Dmaj9 Bmaj7 No one had a clue, so F# A/E5 If that's your cup of tea, Bbmaj7 Bm7 E7 Amaj7 then Mein Street was the place to be. Bm7 Tearing down rentals; C#-7 Chasing down mentals; Dmaj7 Amaj7 Building a parking lot. Bm7 Gentrified cities C#-7 Killed all our ditties; D-7 Clueless committees Dmaj7 Amaj7 Ended an endless squat... Amaj7 But Mein Street         D Amaj7 Is where my mind still goes. Gmaj7/A Dmaj7 How anyone else could live there, E7 A7 The future never knows. Bmaj7 C#-7 Evenings out of sync; Dmaj9 Bmaj7 Losers on the brink; F# A/E5 If that's your cup of tea, Bbmaj7 Bm7 E7 Amaj7 Think Mein Street: it's where I'll always be!

I said my initial view of The Beatles was that they were an Indigenous band. That's what drives the album; as a Māori, I interpret them like one. Our beat in that era was much like the Mersey beat.
