[Verse]

E                             A/E        B/E
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
        E
You can always go
A       B
   Down town

E                                A/E           B/E
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
         E
Seems to help, I know
A       B
   Down town

     E                          C#m
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
E                                C#m
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
G#m
How can you lose

A     B/A    A   B/A  A    B/A  A
  The lights are much brighter  there
B/A  A  B/A   F#7
You can for - get all your troubles, forget all your cares, and go

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
          E     Emaj7
There are movie shows
A    B
Down town

E         Emaj7            A/E          B/E
Maybe you know some little places to go to
           E     E6
Where they never close
A    B
Down town

     E                           C#m
Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle Bossa Nova
E                                C#m
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
G#m
Happy again

 A   B/A    A   B/A  A    B/A  A
The  lights are much brighter  there
B/A  A  B/A   F#7
You can for - get all your troubles, forget all your cares, and go

E    Emaj7/B
Down town
A/B           B
Where all the lights are bright
E    Emaj7/B
Down town
A/B         B
Waiting for you tonight
