Downtown chords
Petula Clark *
G
When you're alone
C D7
And life is making you lonely,
G C D7
You can always go downtown
G
When you've got worries,
C D7
All the noise and the hurry
G C D7
Seems to help, I know, downtown
G Em
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
G Em
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
Bm
How can you lose?
C
The lights are much brighter there
D7
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
G C
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
G C
Downtown, no finer place for sure,
G C D7 G
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
G
Don't hang around
C D7
And let your problems surround you
G C D7
There are movie shows downtown
G
Maybe you know
C D7
Some little places to go to
G C D7
Where they never close downtown
G Em
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
G Em
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Bm
Happy again
C
The lights are much brighter there
D7
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
G C
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
G C
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
G C D7 G
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
G Em
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
G Em
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Bm
Guide them along
C
So, maybe I'll see you there

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
G C
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
