[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
