[Intro]
D G D A D

[Verse]
D
How many times
       G               D
have I washed my face, combed my hair
    G
and left this place?
G                                        D
Felt a shiver in my chest when I hit the door,

    D                               G      D
the promise of something here worth living for.

[Verse]
D                                 G
I Had a fight with the woman that had my kids.
          D                            G
Can’t get along with anyone, what if I did?
D         G
I’m going back to the corner
         D
where we used to meet,
                      G
When our dreams were young
        A             D
and our night’s were sweet.

[Chorus]
D             G
I’m going out tonight,
          D
going way downtown
              G
Where have my friends who’ve died
      A    D
still hang around.
D
See what’s shaking
       G           D
as the leaves turn brown.
G                D
Seasons been and gone,
A                    D
another one’s coming on,
G             A        D
and I’m on my way downtown.

[Verse]
D
Well it was thirty years ago
       G
in the setting sun,
      D
I was walking down Union Street
    G
and started to run.
G
Down into a cellar
          D
where the music screamed,
D
I guess it hit me harder than
  G    D
I ever dreamed.

[Verse]
       G
In the Palace Theatre Hall
      D
later on that night
           A
There were miracles in store
          D
But not a soul in sight.
G
Pay phone ringing
          D
It didn’t seem so strange.
D
Anything could happen,
                  A
everything could change.

[Chorus]
D
I’m going out tonight,
G
way downtown
              D
Where have my friends who’ve died
         G
hanging ‘round
G
All that moonlight
                D
spilling on the ground
D
as seasons been and gone.

D G D G A G D

[Verse]
           G            D
We used to gather here, flirt, and laugh.
A                     D
Now all my dreams are cut in half.
G
Girls were smoking cigarettes
    D
and chewing gum.
D
They’d just get scared
                 A       G
When they see me come.

D
Way downtown the corners move,
                              G
sandstone slabs are worn and grooved,
D                    G               D
turning black in the first drops of rain.
                            G    D
You can smell the earth and sky again.

[Outro]
D
You hear the rattle of the leaves,
    G
the locust call, underneath the elms
       D          A
by the schoolyard wall.
G                     D
Summer’s over and the fields are tall
                       G                    D
Seasons been and gone, another one’s coming on
        G         D
and I’m on my way downtown.
