        G                                            C               D

1. When you`re alone and life is making you lonely, 

                   G             C            D

    you can always go      Downtown.

       G                                                 C                    D

    When you`ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry

                      G                 C           D

    seems to help, I know,     Downtown.

             G                                     Em

    Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,

      G                                                 Em

    linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty,

     Bm                       C

    how can you lose,     the lights are much brighter there,

                      Em               A              Em               A                 

    you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares, so go

      G              Am         Bm

    Downtown, no finer place for sure,

    Downtown, everything`s waiting for you,  - Downtown.

 

      G                                                 C                 D

2. Don`t hang around and let your problems surround you,

                      G                  C           D

    there are movie shows,     Downtown.

       G                                          C           D                           

    Maybe you know some little places to go to,

                         G               C           D

    where they never close,    Downtown.

             G                                      Em

    Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle Bossanova,

      G                                                   Em

    you`ll be dancing with them, too, before the night is over,

     Bm               C

    happy again.     The lights are much brighter there,

                      Em               A               Em              A                  

    you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares, so go

 

       G                Am              Bm

    Downtown, where all the lights are bright

       G             Am            Bm                G          -C-D

    Downtown, waiting for you tonight, Downtown.

 

 

 

 

             G                                               Em

3. And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you,

       G                                                  Em

    someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to

     Bm                       C

    guide them along.     So maybe I`ll see you there,

                     Em             A               Em            A                    

    we can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares. So  go

      G              Am                 Bm

    downtown, things will be great when you`re

       G              Am              Bm                 G

    Downtown, don`t wait a minute more, Downtown....
