Downtown chords
Petula Clark *
 
[D] When you're alone and life is [G] making you [A7] lonely, you can [D] always go [G] down- [A7] -town - - - - [D] When you've got worries, all the [G] noise and the [A7] hurry seems to [D] help, I know, [G] down- [A7] -town
 
Just [D] listen to the music of the [Bm] traffic in the city.  [D] Linger on the sidewalk where the [Bm] neon signs are pretty.  [F#m] How can you lose?  [G] The lights are much brighter there, you can for- [E] -get all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
 
[CHORUS]
 
[D] Don't hang around and let your [G] problems [A7] surround you there are [D] movie shows [G] down- [A7] -town.  [D] Maybe you know some little [G] places to [A7] go to where they [D] never close [G] down- [A7] -town
 
Just [D] listen to the rhythm of a [Bm] gentle bossanova.  [D] You'll be dancing with 'em too [Bm] before the night is over.  [F#m] Happy again  [G] The lights are much brighter there, you can for- [E] -get all your troubles, forget all your cares and go

[CHORUS] - - - [D] Downtown, [G] things'll be great when you're [D] Downtown, [G] no finer place for sure, [D] Downtown, [G] everything's [A7] waiting for [D] you
 
And [D] you may find somebody kind to [Bm] help and understand you  [D] Someone who is just like you and [Bm] needs a gentle hand to.  [F#m] Guide them along  [D] So, maybe I'll see you there we can for- [E] -get all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
 
[CHORUS] - - - 
 
[D] Down- [A7] -town  - - - -  - - - -  [D] Down- [A7] -town
