G Bm
When you're alone
C D7
And life is making you lonely,
G C-D7
You can always go down-town
G Bm
When you've got worries,
C D7
All the noise and the hurry
G Bm C-D7
Seems to help, I know, down-town
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
A
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
G-Bm C D
Down-town, things'll be great when you're
G-Bm C D
Down-town, no finer place for sure,
G-Bm C D G
Down-town, everything's waiting for you
G
Don't hang around
C D7
And let your problems surround you
G Bm C-D
There are movie shows down-town
G
Maybe you know
C D7
Some little places to go to
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/petula_clark/downtown_crd_ver_3.html ]
G Bm C-D
Where they never close down-town
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
Em
Happy again
C
The lights are much brighter there
A
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
G-Bm C D
Down-town where all the lights are bright,
G-Bm C D
Down-town, waiting for you tonight,
G-Bm C D G
Down-town, 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
A
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
G-Bm C D
Down-town, things'll be great when you're
G-Bm C D
Down-town, don't wait a minute more,
G-Bm C D G
Down-town, everything's waiting for you
G D C D
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
(repeat and fade out)
