"Downtown"
(Tony Hatch)
Intro (piano, 2X):

Verse 1:
/
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
Chorus 1:
/
Downtown
Things'll be great when you're
/
Downtown
You'll find a place for sure
/
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you
(Downtown)
(Downtown)
Verse 2:
/
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 the 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
Chorus 2:
Downtown
Where all the lights are bright
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight
Downtown
You're gonna be all right now
(Downtown)

Verse 3 (partial):
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, let's go
Chorus 3:

Downtown

Things'll be great when you're

Don't wait a minute more

Everything's waiting for you
