A
Down in Bowery
D                           A                    E
They lose their ballads and their lipped-mouths in the night
A                            D
And stumbling through the street, they say
A          E
"Sir, do you got a light?
A                    D
And if you do then you're my friend
A                     E
And if you don't then you're my foe
A                D         A             E
And if you are a deity of any sort then please don't go"

Chorus:
A                   D
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
E                   A
Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah
A                    D
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
E                A
Ne me quitte pas

Verse 2:
A                        D                   A     E
Down in Lexington they walk in new shoes stuck to aging feet
A                        D
And close their eyes and open
               A                   E
And not recognize the aging street
   A                       D
And think about the things were right
A                                       E
When they were young and veins were tight
A                              D
And if you are the ghost of Christmas past
A                 E
Then won't you stay the night?

Chorus x2

A                   D
Down in Bronxy Bronx
A                          E
The kids go sledding down snow covered slopes
A                          D
And frozen noses, frozen toes
A                         E
The frozen city starts to glow
A                       D
And yes, they know that it will pass
A                      E
And yes they know New York will thaw
A                        D
But if you're a friend of any sort
A                         E
Then play along and catch a cold

Chorus

Bridge:
A             D
I love Paris in the rain,
E                A
I love Paris in the rain
A            D        E             A
I love, I love, I love in the rain
A              D
I love Paris in the rain,
E             A
I love Paris in the rain
A                 D         E        A
And I Love I love I love in the rain
A          D        E             A
I love, I love, I love in the rain

Verse 3:
A                 D
Down in Paris they walk fast
A                 E
That is unless they're walking slow
A                  D
And in cafes they look away
A                  E
That is unless they look right in
A                   D
And in the gardens I get lost
A                  E
That is unless I'm getting found
A                    D                                  A
And if you are the ghost of New York City
A             E
Then won't you stick around?

Chorus

Bridge:
A             D
I love Paris in the rain,
E                A
I love Paris in the rain
A            D        E             A
I love, I love, I love in the rain
A              D
I love Paris in the rain,
E             E
I love Paris in the rain
A                 D         E        A
And I Love I love I love in the rain
A          D        E             A
I love, I love, I love in the rain
