[Intro]
E7
 
[Verse 1]
E7
Detroit rock, baby that's a fact
E7
And when Bobby said, deffo better get back Jack
             A7
Well, you've gotta be tough
                              E7
but there's a good time to be had
B7                     A7              E7
I'd like to think everybody here knows that
 
[Verse 2]
         E7
So let's talk about a place that you might not know
E7
Just a little further on up the road
          A7
Well, you know about mhm,
                           E7
baby let's get down to the bones
B7                          A7                  E7
Tell you 'bout a place that really made America roll
 
[Chorus]
E7
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
E7
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
A7
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
E7
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
B7               A7         E7
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
 
[Verse 3]
        E7
Now the truth is, we ain't what we used to be
E7
Whole lotta trouble come to our streets
    A7                     E7
The only one to blame is GMC
       B7                       A7             E7
If you don't know, baby, let me tell you how I mean
 
[Verse 4]
         E7
We built Buick cars, GM trucks
E7
Chevy engines, AC sparkplugs
      A7                               E7
Built planes for the war back in forty-one
B7          A7                          E7  B7
Every piece straight from the ground on up
 
[Verse 5]
     E7
Then trouble come in eighty-six
          E7
With this son of a b**ch named Roger Smith
A7                                         E7
Cut our throat with a stroke of a fountain pen
B7                           A7            E7   B7
We're knocked down but we're gonna get up again
 
[Chorus]
E7
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
E7
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
A7
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
E7
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
B7               A7         E7
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
 
[Instrumental]
E7     E7

E7     E7
A7     E7
B7  A7 E7  B7
 
[Bridge]
            A7
Well, there ain't no work and everybody's hurtin'
     E7
It's been that way for a while
     A7
They ain't got a sleepgrass yet there
B7
Flint City knows how to have a good time
 
[Verse 6]
         E7
Well, we might be poor and we might be rough
E7
We're just good people down on our luck
        A7                               E7
And you know it seems nobody cares about us
B7                A7           E7   B7
We just ain't the kind to give up
 
[Chorus]
E7
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
E7
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
A7
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
E7
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
B7               A7         E7
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
B7               A7
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
