C                                    F             Dm 
I said I'm thru with honky tonks, they only bring me down 
     G                                                    C 
So I dressed my best and headed for the brightest spot in town 
  G                                    C7              F 
I watch the rich folks come and go and one things very clear 
        G                          C 
There's just as many lonely people here 
 
 
Chorus: 
             C              C7              F 
And I'm just hangin round a better class of losers 
             G                               C      G 
Now it don't matter if you drink beer or champagne 
         C            C7              F 
No, I've only found a better class of losers 
G                                 C 
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same 
 
 
Solo 
 
 
 
(Sung by Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings) 
It's been all downhill for me since baby walked away  
I'm down here at the bottom now and I guess that's where I'll stay 
I keep looking for the answers and all that I've seen here 
Is the same old lonely cold atmosphere 
 
Chorus 
 
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same 
 
 
For the blues are still the blues 
Still just as hard to lose 
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
