[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
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

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
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
        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

[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

Down in Chinatown (woah-oh - woah-oh)
         D#m                           Bmaj7
With the dragon eyes that overlook the bay
