Am7                                E7
Red pants and the Sugar-man in the temple street gloom, 
Am7                        E7
drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four   dollar room, 
Am7                             E7
Just another dead soldier in a  pow-der blue night,
Am7                          E7 
Sugarman says 'Baby, ev'ry - thing's alright' 

(Chorus)
      Am     D      Am     D      E7
Goin' down - town,  down - town,  down. 
      Am     D        E7   /
Goin' down - town     down

(Same sequence for all verses and choruses)

Montclaire de Havelin doin' the St. Vitus dance, 
lookin' for someone to chop the lumber in his pants, 
How am I gonna unload all of this ice and all this mink
All the traffic in the street but it's so  hard to think, 
Goin' downtown, downtown, down. 
Goin' downtown,  down.
