[Verse 1]
Bring over some of your [G]old [Em]Motown record[D]s
[G]We'll put the speakers in the
window and we'll [Em]go[D]
[Em]On the roof and listen to the Mi[Bm]racles
[Em]Echo to the [Am]alley down [D]below

[Verse 2]
[G]Let's dance together just for the night
Let's [Em]don't worry about
the future or nothin' else
'Cause just like the [Am]music's
sayin' you gotta take chances
Go ahead just [Em]do it and
trust your[D]self

[Verse 3]
There's a [Em]soul in the [C]city
Watching [G]over us [C]tonight
There's [Em]a soul in the [C]city
Saying [Am]everything's [G]gonna be [D]all right

[Verse 4]
[G]So bring over some of your
old [Em]Motown records
[D]We'[G]ll put the speakers in the

[Em]On the roof and listen to the Mi[Bm]racles
[G]Echo to the [Am]alley down
[Em]below[Am][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]They wish us luck
But they think we're just dreaming
[Em]Let's prove them wrong baby
'Cause you know what [Am]luck is
Luck is believing you're lucky
That's all and show[Em]ing
just a little bit of [D]faith

[Verse 6]
There's [Em]a soul in the ci[C]ty
Watching [G]over us I [C]swear
There's [Em]a soul in the [C]city
There's a [Am]whole world wait[G]ing out there

[Verse 7]
[G]Listen
[Em]I got plans for us
Playing like [G]a skip on a record
Through my [C]head all night [Em]long
But when we walk that
darkened [D]stairway
[G]And step out on [Am]the roof
I know what [G]we're feeling
[C]can't be wrong

[Verse 8]

Bring over some of your old
[Em]Mo t[G]own records
