Verse 1
(D major) Down cry you, (F sharp minor) (D major) down cry you,
all is well (A major) (D major)
Every night about a quarter till nine
You can hear that old bell (A major) chime
For (D major) miles around you can (G major) hear him yell
Then (D major) you know that all is well
Town Crier
Town Crier
Then he turns his lantern away
down low
That's when romance starts its (A major) glow
The (D major) young and the older (G major) on the lookout
About (D major) ten o 'clock you
can hear him shout
Town Crier
(E flat major)
Verse 2
Crier
Town solo (B flat major)
(E flat major) (A flat major) (E flat major) The sun goes down
and the moon comes up
The Town Crier's busy as
a speckled (B flat major) pup
From (E flat major) door to (A flat major) door he rings the bell
At (E flat major) 11 o 'clock you can hear him yell
Town Crier,
Town Crier
He makes lots of calls so
he can't stay
Romance takes over when he's on his (B flat major) way
A (E flat major) -dancin' and a -huggin'
and a (A flat major) -havin' a ball
At (E flat major) twelve o 'c (F major) lock you
can (B flat major) hear him (E flat major) call
Town Crier,
Town (E major) Crier (B major) (E major) (A major) (E major)
Where does he go
when his work's all through?
He's got rhythm that's brand (B major) new
I (E major) bet if you'd follow him (A major) just by chance
You'll (E major) find that (B major) he's got
him a ro (E major) mance
Town Crier
Town Crier
Town Crier
Yeah!
