Magic Town
The Vogues

(Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil)


 Intro:

         D/E
          / / / /  / / / /

 Verse 1:

         D/E
         They told me the streets were all paved with gold
                                                         C#m7/E
         But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold
              G/A
         They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
         But how 'bout the one blinking in
                       C    E7sus4 E7
         My room all night

 Chorus:

                       C#m7 F#m7  Bm7         E
         And where's the magic in this magic town?
                     C#m7 F#m7      Bm7             E
         Where's the good life they said could be found?
                   C#m7 F#m7  Bm7  /C# /D D#m7-5            D/E
         Where's the magic to make all my  big  dreams come true
                    (D/E)
         1: I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you (to verse 2)
                    (D/E)                               A
         2: I gotta find it, girl    before I send for you (to piano solo)
                    (D/E)
         3: I gotta find it, girl, if it can be found
                                  [N.C.]
            Before I bring you to (to coda)

 Verse 2:

         They said in this town you get rich in no time
         But here I am and I'm down to my last dime
         I just don't know why I bother to try
         When nobody here gives a hang
         If I live or die

 [repeat chorus]
