C5                                    F5             D5 
I said I'm thru with honky tonks, they only bring me down 
     G5                                                    C5 
So I dressed my best and headed for the brightest spot in town 
  G5                                    C5              F5 
I watch the rich folks come and go and one things very clear 
        G5                          C5 
There's just as many lonely people here 
 
Chorus: 
             C5              C5              F5 
And I'm just hangin round a better class of losers 
             G5                               C5      G5 
Now it don't matter if you drink beer or champagne 
         C5            C5              F5 
No, I've only found a better class of losers 
G5                                 C5 
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same

(Sung by Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings) 
It's been all downhill for me since baby walked away  
I'm down here at the bottom now and I guess that's where I'll stay 
I keep looking for the answers and all that I've seen here 
Is the same old lonely cold atmosphere 
 
Chorus 
 
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same 
 
 
For the blues are still the blues 
Still just as hard to lose 
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
