To get the feel of the strumming and solos etc.. you should listen
All chords are power chords, except during the verse, and the minor
chords. You can also try picking the Dm and Am chords at the beginning of
the chorus if you have two guitars, for a nice effect.
The chorus can also be played with Dm7 and Am7, but I don't think it
sounds right like that.

AWinding your way down on Baker Street
ALight in your head, and dead on your feet
Well Emanother crazy day, you Gdrink the night away
And Dforget about everything
AThis city's dance makes you feel so cold, it's got
ASo many people but its got no soul
And its Emtaken you so long to Gfind out you were wrong
When you Dthought it held everything.
DmYou used to think that it was Amso easy
DmYou used to say that it was Amso easy
But Cyou're trying, Gyou're trying Dnow
DmAnother year and then you'd Ambe happy
DmJust one more year and then you'd Ambe happy
But Cyou're crying, Gyou're crying AnowG
AWay down the street there's a light in his place
AYou open the door, he's got that look on his face
And he Emasks you where you've been, you tGell him who you've seen
And you Dtalk about everything
AHe's got this dream about buying some land
AHe's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
And Emthen he'll settle down, it's a Gquiet little town
And Dforget about everything
DmBut you know he'll always Amkeep moving
DmYou know he's never gonna Amstop moving
CCause he's rolling, Ghe's the rolling Dstone
DmAnd when you wake up it's a Amnew morning
DmThe sun is shining it's a Amnew morning
CAnd you're going, Gyou're going AhomeD
