DOWNTOWN

Petula Clark

 EA/EB/E
                                                              Verse 1:
 EA/EB/E
        When you're alone and life is making you lonely
 E
        You can always go
 A/EB/E
        Downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
 EC#m
        Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
 EC#m
        Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
 G#m7
        How can you lose
 AB/AAB/AAB/AA
        The lights are much brighter there
 B/AAB/AF#7
        You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares, and go
Chorus 1:
 E/BEmaj7/B
         Downtown
 A/BB
        Things'll be great when you're
 E/BEmaj7/B
         Downtown
 A/BB
        You'll find a place for sure
 E/BEmaj7/B
         Downtown
 A/BB
        Everything's waiting for you
 EA/BEmaj7A/B
        (Downtown) 
 EA/BEmaj7A/B
        (Downtown) 
Verse 2:
 EEmaj7A/EB/E
        Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
 EEmaj7
        There are movie shows
 A/EB/E
        Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle Bossa Nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares, and go
Chorus 2:
Downtown
Where all the lights are bright
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight
Downtown
You're gonna be all right now

        And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
 FDm
        Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
 Am7
        Guide them along
 BbC/BbBbC/BbBbC/BbBb
          So maybe  I'll see you there
