[Verse 1]
Am G
Downtown L.A. is a depressing place
D Am
You can see young men with deep lines in their face
Am G
They could all be something if somebody cared
D Am
But nobody knows they're even down there

[Bridge 1]
G Am
Old woman walking with a sack on her back
G Am
Picking up the garbage people put out back
G Am
Men down there trying to walk the line
G D Am
Trading their soul for a bottle of wine

[Verse 2]
Am G
In the inner city it ain't no good
D Am
It's a long, long way from Hollywood
Am G
Bad kind of people got a hold of the street
D Am
They got something that the poor people need

[Bridge 2]
G Am
At two in the morning they bust your head
G Am
Fat chance walking you'll end up dead
G Am
It's the law of the jungle with a gun and a knife
G D Am
If you stay long enough you lose your life

[Verse 3]
Am G
Man down there he couldn't be lying
D Am
He was sleeping in the street and he couldn't keep from crying
Am G
Said he'd been there for twenty one years
D Am
Through the bars and the brawls and the blues and the tears

[Bridge 3]
G Am
Prop up the front the back falls down
G Am
All around the canyons of L.A. town
G Am
When he asked me for a dollar I looked him in his face
G D Am
Downtown L.A. is a depressing place

[Outro]
