E                                            Fdim       B7 
Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio is like being nowhere at all.

                            E          C#m
All through the day how the hours rush by,

    F#7                      B7        Bb7   B7
You sit in the park and you watch the grass die!

        E             
Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight,

                Fdim           B7
When shadows of night start to fall,

                             E            C#m
They roll back the sidewalks precisely at ten,

F#7                           B7       Bb7-B7
And people who live there are not seen a-gain! 

     E          E7            A
Just two lonely truckers from Kearny, Nebraska

      B7                   E                 E7
And a salesman from places unknown, (-es unknown)

    A       Edim        E        C#7       
All huddled together in downtown Toledo

   F#7             B7        E
To spend their big night all alone!
 
    E                      
You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio,

                Fdim           B7 
Well, I spent a week there one day.

                             E           C#m
They've got entertainment to dazzle your eyes,

   F#7                  B7        Bb7  B7
Go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise! 

        E                                               F#dim       B7
Ah, but let's not forget the folks of Toledo unselfishly gave us the scale.


[spoken]                               E            C#m
“No springs, honest weight” that's the promise they made,

   F#7                        B7       Bb7   B7
So smile and be thankful next time you get weighed!

    E            E7         A
And live and let live, let this be our motto,

B7                           E               E7
Let's let the sleeping dogs lie (-ping dogs lie). 

     A            Edim      E      C#m
And here's to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio,

F#7        B7            E    B7 E
Ladies, we bid you good bye!




Note:

Maybe slide B7 chord up two frets to play Bb7 chord, that's how I do it
