[Verse]
C                             F          G
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
        C         F     G
You can always go - downtown
C                                F             G
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
        C            F     G
Seem to help, I know - downtown

[Verse]
     C                          Am
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
C                                Am
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
Em                F
How can you lose?

[Pre-Chorus]
F
The lights are much brighter there
        D7
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

[Chorus]
      C   G
So go downtown
                                 C   G
Things will be great when you're downtown
                         C   G
No finer place for sure, downtown
                         C
Everything's waiting for you
C
Downtown, downtown

[Verse]
C                              F           G
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
          C           F     G
There are movie shows - downtown
C                          F         G
Maybe you know some little places to go
           C           F     G
Where they never close - downtown

[Verse]
     C                         Am
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle Bossa Nova
C                                Am
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Em           F
Happy again

[Pre-Chorus]
F
The lights are much brighter there
            D7
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

[Chorus]
      C   G
So go downtown
                                 C   G
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
                         C   G
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
                        C
You're gonna be alright now
C         Db
Downtown, downtown

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Db                               Bbm
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Fm               Gb
Guide them along
