  C           Cmaj7              F           G
When youʼre  alone  and life  is making  you lonely,
        C       Cmaj7     F   G
you can always  go       Downtown
  C                Cmaj7             F              G
When youʼve  got  worries, all  the noise  and the hurry
           C          Cmaj7        F   G
seem  to  help   I   know         Downtown

      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
How can you lose?
 F
The lights are much brighter there,
            D                        D7
you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go

 C   Cmaj7  Dm            G
Downtown, thingsʼll be great when youʼre
 C   Cmaj7 Dm         G
Downtown, No finer place for sure,
 C   Cmaj7 Dm            G           C Dm  Cmaj7 Dm 
Downtown, Everythingʼs waiting for you

 C           Cmaj7                F         G
Donʼt hang around  and let your problems surround you
            C     Cmaj7        F   G
There are movie shows        downtown
 C         Cmaj7               F        G
Maybe you know  some little places to go
                C     Cmaj7    F   G
To where they never close    downtown

 C                             Am
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle Bossanova
 C                               Am
Youʼ11 be dancing with ʼem too before the night is over
 Em
Happy again
 F
The lights are much brighter there
            D                         D7
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go

 C   Cmaj7 Dm            G
Downtown, where all the lights are bright,
 C   Cmaj7 Dm         G
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
 C   Cmaj7 Dm           G          C Dm  Cmaj7 Dm 
Downtown, youʼre gonna be alright now
     C                            Am
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
 C                                Am
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
 Em
Guide them along
     F
So, maybe Iʼ11 see you there
           D                        D7
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go

 C  Cmaj7   Dm           G
Downtown, thingsʼll be great when youʼre
 C  Cmaj7 Dm            G
Downtown, donʼt wait a minute more,
 C  Cmaj7 Dm            G
Downtown, everythingʼs waiting for you

 C   Dm  Cmaj7 Dm 
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
