Ne Me Quitte Pas

	  		
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" 


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? 



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 




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

I love Paris in the rain, 
E             E 
I love Paris in the rain

I love, I love, I love in the rain
