[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][G][C][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Down [C]in Bowery,
they lose their ball- eyes
And their [G]lipped- mouths in [C]the night
And stumbling through the street
They say, "sir, do you [G]got a light?"
And [C]if you do, then you're my friend
And if you don't, then [G]you're my foe
And [C]if you are a deity of any sort
Then [G]please don't go

[Verse 2]
[C]Ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quitte pas
[C]Ah, ah, ah, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
Ne [G]me quitte pas
[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Down on Lexington
They're [F]walking,
[C]new shoes stuck to [G]aging feet
And [C]close their eyes and open
An[F]d n[C]ot recognize the a[G]ging street
And [C]think about how things were right
When they were young and
[G]veins were tight and
[C]If you are the ghost of Christmas Past
Then won't you [G]stay the night?

[Verse 4]
[C]Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
[G]Ne me quitte [C]pas
Ah, ah, ah, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quitte [C]pas
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quitte [C]pas
Ah, ah, ah, ne me quitte pas, mon cher
[G]Ne me [F]quitte [C]pas

[Verse 5]
[C]Down in Bronxy Bronx
The kids go sledding down
snow- [G]covered slopes
And [C]frozen noses, frozen toes
The frozen city [G]starts to glow
And, [C]yes, they know that it will pass
And, yes, they know New [G]York will thaw
But [C]if you are a friend of any sort
Then play [G]along and catch a cold

[Verse 6]
[C]Ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher[G]
Ne me quitte [C]pas
Ah, ah, ah, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quitte [C]pas
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ne me quitte pas,
mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quitte [C]pas
Ah, ah, ah, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne [F]me quitte [C]pas

[Verse 7]
I love Paris in the rain
[G]I love Paris i[C]n the rain
I love, I [G]love, I love [F]in the [C]rain
I love Paris in the rain
[G]I love Paris i[F]n the r[C]ain
Man, I love, I love, [G]I love i[F]n the r[C]ain
I love, I [F]love, [G]I love i[F]n the rain

[Verse 8]
[C]Down in Paris, they walk fast
That is, unless they're [G]walking slow
And [C]in cafés, they look [F]away
[C]That is unless they loo[G]k right in
And [C]in the gardens, I get lost
That is unless I'm [G]getting found
And [C]if you are the ghost
of New York City
Won't you [G]stick [C]around?

[Verse 9]
Ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quitte [C]pas
Ah, ah, ah, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quitte pas
[C]Ooh, ooh, ooh, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me [C]quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah, ne me quitte pas, mon [F]cher
[G]Ne me quit[F]te [C]pas

[Verse 10]
I love Paris in the rain
[G]I love Paris in t[C]he rain
I love, I love, [G]I love in t[F]he r[C]ain
I love Paris in the rain
[G]I love Paris i[F]n the rain
[C]Man, I love, I lov[F]e, I l[G]ove in t[F]he rain
[C]And I love, I lov[F]e, I l[G]ove in t[F]he rain[C]
I love, I love [G]in the [F]rain, in the [C]rain
Oh, I love in [G]the rain, [C]in the ran, in the rain
Ne me quitte [G]pas[F][C]
Ne me quit[G]te pas[F][C]
Ne me quitte [G]pas
