Downtown chords by Tom Waits

Chords with lyrics

Downtown

(Verse)
Am7Am7                E7E7
Red pants and the Sugar-man in the temple street gloom,
Am7Am7            E7E7
drinkin' Chivas Regal in a four  dollar room,
Am7Am7               E7E7
Just another dead soldier in a pow-der blue night,
Am7Am7             E7E7
Sugarman says 'Baby, ev'ry - thing's alright'

(Chorus)
   A minorAm   D MajorD   A minorAm   D MajorD   E7E7
Goin' down - town, down - town, down.
   A minorAm   D MajorD    E7E7  /
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.

Frankie's wearin' lipstick   Pierre Cardin,
I swear to God I seen him holdin' hands with Jimmy Bond, Sally's high on crank  and hungry for some sweets,
she's fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets,
Goin' downtown, downtown, down.
Goin' downtown, down.

It's the cool of the evening  the Sun's goin' down,
I want to hold you in my arms I wanna   push you around,
I want to break your bottle  and spill out all your charms,
come on baby we'll set off all the burglar alarms,
Goin' downtown, downtown, down.
Goin' downtown, down.
