"Magic Town"
(Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil)
Intro:
Verse 1:
They told me the streets were all paved with gold
But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold
They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
But how 'bout the one blinking in
My room all night
Chorus:
And where's the magic in this magic town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true
1: I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you (to verse 2)
2: I gotta find it, girl before I send for you (to piano solo)
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)
Piano solo:
piano (4X):
v v v v v v v v
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (4: and where's the)
Coda (chords as per piano solo):
This magic town
This magic town (repeat to fade)
