Downtown chords
Petula Clark *

E MajorE
When you're alone
      A augmentedA     B7B7
And life is making you lonely,
    E MajorE     A augmentedA  B7B7
You can always go downtown
E MajorE
When you've got worries,
    A augmentedA       B7B7
All the noise and the hurry
E MajorE           A augmentedA  B7B7
Seems to help, I know, downtown

   E MajorE             C# minorC#m
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
E MajorE                C# minorC#m
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
G# minorG#m
How can you lose?
A augmentedA
The lights are much brighter there
      B7B7
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go

E MajorE     A augmentedA
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Downtown, no finer place for sure,
E MajorE     A augmentedA      B7B7     E MajorE
Downtown, everything's waiting for you

E MajorE
Don't hang around
       A augmentedA      B7B7
And let your problems surround you
     E MajorE      A augmentedA  B7B7
There are movie shows downtown
E MajorE
Maybe you know
      A augmentedA     B7B7
Some little places to go to
      E MajorE      A augmentedA  B7B7
Where they never close downtown

   E MajorE             C# minorC#m
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
E MajorE               C# minorC#m
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
G# minorG#m
Happy again
A augmentedA
The lights are much brighter there
      B7B7
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go

E MajorE    A augmentedA
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
E MajorE     A augmentedA      B7B7     E MajorE
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now

  E MajorE               C# minorC#m
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
E MajorE                C# minorC#m
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
G# minorG#m
Guide them along
A augmentedA
So, maybe I'll see you there
     B7B7
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go

E MajorE     A augmentedA
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
E MajorE     A augmentedA
Downtown, don't wait a minute more,
E MajorE     A augmentedA      B7B7     E MajorE
Downtown, everything's waiting for you

E MajorE  B7B7  E MajorE  B7B7  E MajorE  B7B7  E MajorE  B7B7
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
