Downtown

Tony Hatch / Petula Clark (1964)

G Bm C D7 G Bm C D
When you're alone and life is making you lonely, You can always go - Downtown.
G Bm C D7 G Bm C D
When you got worries, all the noise and the hurry, Seems to help I know - Downtown.
 
G Em
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,
G Em Bm
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon lights are pretty - - How can you lose?
 
C A/G
The lights are much brighter there, you can forget all your troubles, forget all you cares, So go
G Bm C D G Bm C D
Downtown - things will be great when you're: Downtown - No finer place for sure:
G Bm C D G G CaddD G CaddD G
Downtown - Ev'rything's waiting for you! (Downtown)
 
G Bm C D7 G Bm C D
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you, There are movie shows - Downtown.
G Bm C D7 G Bm C D
Maybe you know some little places to go to, Where they never close - Downtown.
 
G Em
Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle Bossa Nova,
G Em Bm
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over - Happy again!
 
C A/G
The lights are much brighter there - You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares, and go
G Bm C D G Bm C D
Downtown - Where all the lights are bright: Downtown - Waiting for you tonight:
G Bm C D G
Downtown - You're gonna be all right now! (Downtown)
(key changes to G#:)
(Downtown) (Downtown) (Downtown)

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you;
G Em Bm
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to - Guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there - We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares, we'll go
G Bm C D G Bm C D
Downtown - Things'll be great when you're: Downtown - Don't wait a minute more:
