[Verse 1]
B6 D#m7 G# G#sus2
Take the cable car to Jackson, it's a Friday night affair
A E B6
Madam Rose's legendary honeycomb
[Verse 2]
B6 D#m7 G# G#sus2
With an ounce of intuition you can feel it in the air
A E B6
This working boy has found a place to roam
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm7 C#m7
As unfamiliar faces watch every move you make
Dm7 C
And the midnight gangs are snaking through the alleyway
C/D D
Where they used to play
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 B A#m7 D#m7
Down in Chinatown (woah-oh - woah-oh)
G# D#m
Where the nights are always longer than the days
Bmaj7 B A#m7 D#m7
Down in Chinatown (woah-oh - woah-oh)
D#m Bmaj7
With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay
B A#m11
Hey, yeah

[Verse 3]
B6 D#m7 G# G#sus2
There's a lair below the city where the bottom dwellers go
A E B6
Trying to find that thrill they've never known
[Verse 4]
B6 D#m7 G# G#sus2
A woman pours the absinthe as the paper lanterns glow
A E B6
I think this jones is better left alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm7 C#m7
The corridors are endless, it's not hard to lose your way
Dm7 C
Where old men smoke and gamble into Saturday
C/D D
Do you want to play?
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 B A#m7 D#m7
Down in Chinatown (woah-oh - woah-oh)
G# D#m
Where the nights are always longer than the days

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Bm7 C#m7
If the California street line is the only way you know
Dm7 C
You might want to play it safe down on Grant Avenue
C/D D
Where we wait for you
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 B A#m7 D#m7
Down in Chinatown (woah-oh - woah-oh)
G# D#m
Where the nights are always longer than the days

Take the cable car to Jackson
It's a Friday night affair
Madam Rose's legendary honeycomb
With an ounce of intuition
You can feel it in the air
This working boy has found a place to roam
As some familiar faces
Watch every move you make
And at midnight games are snaking through the alleyway
Where they used to play
Down in Chinatown..woah
Where the nights are always longer than the days
Down in Chinatown..woah
With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay
Hey yeah
There's a lair below the city
Where the bottom dwellers go
Trying to find that thrill they've never known
A woman bores the absinthe
As the paper lanterns glow
I think Ms. Jones is better left alone
The corridors are endless
It's not hard to lose your way
Where old men smoke and gamble into Saturday
Do you want to play?
Down in Chinatown..woah
Where the nights are always longer than the days
Down in Chinatown..woah
With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay
Hey yeah
If the California street line
Is the only way you know
You might want to play it safe
Down on Grant Avenue
Where he waits for you
Down in Chinatown..woah
Where the nights are always longer than the days
Down in Chinatown..woah
With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay
Hey yeah
