Tempo

*****

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown.
When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help I know, downtown.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there you can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares, and go...

Down-town....... things will be great when you're
Down-town....... no finer place for sure
Down-town....... everything's waiting for you........

(downtown), (downtown)

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
there are movie shows downtown.
Maybe you know some little places to go to
where they never close downtown.

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again.
The lights are much brighter there you can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares, and go...

Down-town....... Where all the lights are bright
Down-town....... waiting for you tonight
Down-town....... you're gonna be alright now........

(downtown)

KEY CHANGE - UP SEMITONE

(downtown), (downtown)

*** Instrumental ***

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you
and needs a gentle hand to guide them along.
So maybe I'll see you there we can forget all our troubles
Forget all our cares, and go

Downtown....... Things will be great when you're
Downtown....... Don't wait a minute more
Downtown....... Everything's waiting for you........


(downtown), (downtown)
