DWhen you're alone and life is Gmaking you A7lonely
You can Dalways go, GDownA7town
DWhen you've got worries all the Gnoise and the A7hurry
DSeems to help I know, GDownA7town
DJust listen to the music of the Bmtraffic in the city
DLinger on the sidewalk where the Bmneon signs are pretty
F#mHow can you lose?
GThe light's so much brighter there,
you can E7forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares, so go DDowntown
GThings will be great when you're, DDowntown

GEverything's A7waiting for Dyou Downtown DDowntown
DDon't hang around and let your Gproblems A7surround you
There are Dmovie shows, GDownA7town
