*from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)*


Verse 1:

   B7B7
Well, time is always money,
    E7E7
For the boys on Union Square.
     B7B7
Go on and bust your ass 'till doomsday,
     E7E7
Don't for-get to say your prayers.

B7B7
 Someone's riding down the backstreet,
   E7E7
Said papa got a brand new slack.
     B7B7
And your baby is handcuffed on the front seat,
     F#7F#7
Sit right there, boy and you re-lax. C'mon, honey...

Chorus 1:

        F#7F#7
We're all going down, down, down, down-town,
      E7E7
We're going down, down-town,
      B7B7
We're going down, down-town.

Verse 2:

     B7B7
Well, you spill out of the Cinema Fourteen,
    E7E7
To that drag bar, there on the block.
B7B7
 Whizzin' on down in front of the East Coast,
E7E7
 Bank rolled up on your sock.

  B7B7
She stand right there, for your pleasure,
E7E7
 Half Puerto Rican Chinese.
      B7B7
You got to find your baby somebody to measure,
       F#7F#7
I'm going to get me some of these, baby.
C'mon honey, do you hear what I'm doing now?

Chorus 2:

        F#7F#7
We're all going down, down, down, down-town,
      E7E7
We're going down, down-town,
      B7B7
We're going down, down-town.

Verse 3:

   B7B7
'Bout four in the morning on a Sunday,
E7E7
 Sacco drinking whiskey in church.
B7B7
 Half pint of festival brandy,
   E7E7
That boy 'bout to fall right off his perch.

B7B7
 Well, that guy in the sweater's off duty,
E7E7
 Well, he's out in front of that Welfare hotel.
  B7B7
The guy in the dress is a beauty;
      F#7F#7
Go all the way, I swear you never can tell.
C'mon honey and pull up your socks.

Chorus 3:

        F#7F#7
We're all going down, down, down, down-town,
      E7E7
We're going down, down-town,
      B7B7
We're going down, down-town.

Solo:

B7,
B7B7

Chorus 4:

        F#7F#7
We're all going down, down, down, down-town,
      E7E7
We're going down, down-town,
      B7B7
We're going down, down-town.

(Repeat to Fade)
