Capo 3
Verse 1:
A5
Down in Bowery
D5                           A5                                          E5
They lose their ballads and their lipped-mouths in the night
A5                            D5 
And stumbling through the street, they say
A5          E5
"Sir, do you got a light?
A5                    D5
And if you do then you're my friend
A5                     E5
And if you don't then you're my foe
A5                       D5                  A5                   E5
And if you are a deity of any sort then please don't go"

Chorus:
A5                   D5
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
E5                   A5
Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah
A5                    D5
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
E5                A5
Ne me quitte pas

Verse 2:
A5                        D5                   A5                     E5
Down in Lexington they walk in new shoes stuck to aging feet
A5                        D5
And close their eyes and open
               A5                   E5
And not recognize the aging street
   A5                       D5
And think about the things were right
A5                                       E5
When they were young and veins were tight
A5                              D5
And if you are the ghost of Christmas past
A5                 E5
Then won't you stay the night?

Chorus x2

A5                   D5
Down in Bronxy Bronx
A5                          E5
The kids go sledding down snow covered slopes
A5                          D5
And frozen noses, frozen toes
A5                         E5
The frozen city starts to glow
A5                       D5
And yes, they know that it will pass
A5                      E5
And yes they know New York will thaw
A5                        D5
But if you're a friend of any sort
A5                         E5
Then play along and catch a cold

Chorus

Bridge:
A5             D5
I love Paris in the rain,
E5                A5
I love Paris in the rain
A5            D5        E5             A5
I love, I love, I love in the rain
A5              D5
I love Paris in the rain,
E5             E5
I love Paris in the rain
A5                 D5         E5        A5 
And I Love I love I love in the rain
A5          D5        E5             A5
I love, I love, I love in the rain

Verse 3:
A5                 D5
Down in Paris they walk fast
A5                 E5
That is unless they're walking slow
A5                  D5
And in cafes they look away
A5                  E5
That is unless they look right in
A5                   D5
And in the gardens I get lost
A5                  E5
That is unless I'm getting found
A5                    D5                                  A5
And if you are the ghost of New York City
A5             E5
Then won't you stick around?

Chorus

Bridge  (same as before): 

I love Paris in the rain,
I love Paris in the rain
I love, I love, I love in the rain
I love Paris in the rain,
I love Paris in the rain
I love, I love, I love in the rain
And I love, I love, I love in the rain...

And I love, I love, I love, in the rain
I love, I love
In the rain, in the rain
Oh I love in the rain
In the rain, in the rain

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
