I'll Go On Downtown
By: Robert Earl Keen

(Capo 5th)


Intro:

G5 F C


Verse:

G5             F                       C
Got clothes in my closet, new shoes to wear
C                          G5
All that i've wanted, i've more than my share
G5            F                           C
The woman who loves me, she's more than a dream
C                      G5
So why am I feeling so low down and mean?
G5           F                  C
I gave up on smokin' two years ago
C                              G5
And I ain't been drinkin for a month now or so
G5          F                     C
I tell everybody, I've nothin' to hide
C                             G5
while I keep the devil locked deep down inside

Chorus:

C9          G5                D             G5
But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9             G5           D                 G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9            G5                D                G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9           G5                D             G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown


Verse:

G5         F                         C
We used to get crazy and jump in our cars
C                             G5
And burn up the highways, and close down the bars
G5            F                        C
Now we're all married, and some moved away
C                                 G5
And when we get together, there's nothin' to say


Chorus:

C9          G5                D             G5
But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9             G5           D                 G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9            G5                D                G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9           G5                D             G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown


Verse:

G5             F                            C
The lights are all down, the moon's hangin' high
C                                 G5
And the stars are all shinin' way up in the sky
G5          F                    C
If anyone's askin' where I'll be found,
C                               G5
It's home in the mornin', but tonight I'm downtown


Chorus:

C9      G5                D             G5
Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9             G5           D                 G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9            G5                D                G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9           G5                D             G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

C9      G5                D             G5
Tonight I'll be out there runnin' around
C9             G5           D                 G5
Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground
C9            G5                D                G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound
C9           G5                D             G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown
