Above riff x4
 
[Verse 1]
E    D
 
A                                E D
There's a place called Downtown
A                                E D
Where the hippies all go
A                                E D
And they dance the charleston
A                                E D
And they do the limbo
 
[Verse 2]
A                                E D
Yeah the hippies all go there
A                                E D
'Cause they want to be seen
A                                E D
It's like a room full of pictures
A
It's like a psychedelic dream
 
[Chorus]
E   D
Downtown
A
Let's go downtown
E   D    A
Downtown at night

[Verse 3]
 
A                                 E D
Yeah it's right around the corner
A                                 E D
Up and down the hill
A                                 E D
When you hear the band playin'
A                                 E D
It's gonna give you a chill
 
[Verse 4]
A                                 E D
Give your money to the gateman
A                                 E D
Young blood in his eye
A                                 E D
Hold on to your baby
A                                 E D
When you slip into the sky
 
[Chorus]
E   D

A
Let's have a party

[Verse 5]
A                                E D
Jimi's playin' in the back room
A                                E D
Led Zeppelin on stage
A                                E D
There's a mirror ball twirlin'
A                                E D
And a note from Page
 
[Verse 6]
A                                E D
Like a water-washed diamond
A                                E D
In a river of sin
A                                E D
Goin' down like a whirlpool
A
When you get sucked in
