Verse 1
(A minor) Downtown l.a. is a (G major) de pressing place
You can see (D major) young men with
deep lines (A minor) in their face
They could all be something
if (G major) somebody cared
But nobody (D major) knows they're
even down (A minor) there
Old (G major) woman walking with
a sack (A minor) on her back
(G major) Picking up the garbage
people (A minor) put out back
(G major) Men down there trying to walk (A minor) the line
Trading (G major) their soul for a bottle (A minor) of wine
In the inner city it (G major) ain't no good
It's a (D major) long, long way from hollywood (A minor)
Bad kind of people got a
(G major) hold of the street
(D major) They got something that
the poor people (A minor) need
At (G major) two in the morning they bust (A minor) your head
(G major) Fat chance walking you'll
en (A minor) d up dead
It' the (G major) law of the jungle
with a (A minor) gun and a knife
If you stay (G major) long enough you lose (A minor) (G major) (D major) (A minor)
(G major)
(D major) (A minor) (G major)
(A minor) (G major) (A minor) (G major)
(A minor) (G major) your (D major) (A minor)
life
Man down there he (G major) couldn't be lying
He was sleeping (D major) in the street (A minor) and he
couldn't keep from crying
Said he'd been there for
(G major) twenty one years
Through the bars (D major) and the brawls
and the blues (A minor) and the tears
(G major) Prop up the front the (A minor) back falls down
(G major) All around the canyons of (A minor) l.a. town
When he (G major) asked me for a dollar
I looked (A minor) him in his face
(G major) Downtown l.a. is a depressing place
