The Motown Song

E7sus2  079777

[Pre-chorus]

          A           D
There's a soul in the city
         A       D
Watching over us tonight
          A           D
There's a soul in the city
          D            A          E
There's a whole world waitin' out there

[Theme]

A               F#m  E
Doo doo doo doo doo doo     x2

[Chorus]

A                                        F#m  E
Bring over some of your old Motown records
A                                                F#m  E
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
F#m                           E
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
                 Bm
Echo through the alley down below, oh yeah

[Verse 1]

A
Let's dance together just for the night
            F#m
Let's don't worry about the future or nothing else
                Bm
'Cause like the music's saying you gotta take chances
               F#m                 E
Go ahead, just do it and trust yourself

[Pre-chorus]

          A           D
There's a soul in the city
         A       D
Watching over us tonight
          A           D
There's a soul in the city
       D     A            E
Saying everything's gonna be alright

[Chorus]

A                                         F#m  E
Bring over some of your old Motown records
A                                                F#m  E
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
F#m                           E
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
                 Bm
Echo through the alley down below, oh yeah

[Verse 2]

A
They wish us luck but they think we're just dreaming
F#m
Let's prove them wrong, baby
                     Bm
'Cause you know what luck is luck is believing you're lucky
               F#m                          E
That's all and showing just a little bit of faith

[Pre-chorus]

          A           D
There's a soul in the city
         A           D
Watching over us I swear
          A            D
There's a soul in the city
          D           A           E
There's a whole world waiting out there

[Theme]

A               F#m  E
Doo doo doo doo doo doo     x4

[Bridge]

              F#m                         A
Listen, I got plans for us playing like a skip on a record
           D              F#m
Through my head all night long
            F#m                E/G#              A          Bm
But when we walk that darkened stairway and step out on the roof
C#m               D                E7sus2
I know what we're feeling can't be wrong, ah yeah

[Chorus] x2

A                                         F#m  E
Bring over some of your old Motown records
A                                                F#m  E
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
F#m                           E
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
                 Bm
Echo through the alley down below


Let the Temptations sing it one time

A                                         F#m  E
Bring over some of your old Motown records
A                                                F#m  E
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
F#m                           E
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
                 Bm
Echo through the alley down below, oh yeah
