Song: Downtown
By:   Petula Clark

[intro:]  |E   |A   B  |E    |A    B  |

[verse: 1]
|E                               |A           B     
 When you're alone__  and life is making you lonely 
       |E          |A    B     |
You can always go  down__town
|E                                |A             B
 When you've got worries  all the noise and the hurry
         |E             |A    B     |
Seems to help, I know,  down__town

[pre-chorus:] 
     |E                         |C#m 
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
|E                                |C#m
 Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
|G#m
 How can you lose__
[chorus:]
|A                   |                            |C#m               F#                    
 The lights are much brighter__ there__ you can forget all of your troubles
          |C#m            F#         
You can forget all your cares and go  down__town
|E     G#m   |F#m                     B
 Down__town, things'll be great when you're
|E     G#m   |F#m                B
 Down__town,  no finer place for sure
|E     G#m   |F#m                      |E    B     |E       B    |E     B     |E       B
 Down__town, everything's waiting for  you_______                (Down__town )
 
[verse: 2]
|E                            |A           B  
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
         |E            |A    B      |
There are movie shows  down__town
|E                          |A           B7
Maybe you know  some little places to go to
           |E           |A    B      |
Where they never close  down__town

[pre-chorus:]  
     |E                        |C#m
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
|E                               |C#m
 You'll be dancing with them too before the night is over
|G#m
 Happy again
[chorus:]
|A                   |                            |C#m               F#                    
 The lights are much brighter__ there__ you can forget all of your troubles
          |C#m            F#         
You can forget all your cares and go
|E     G#m   |F#m                     B 
 Down__town, where all the lights are bright
|E     G#m   |F#m                B
 Down__town,  waiting for you tonight
|E     G#m   |F#m                      |E    B     |E       B    |F     C     |F      C
 Down__town, you're gonna be alright   now_______                (Down__town )
