*******************
Lindy comes to town
(Al Stewart)
*******************

Notes: 
C#m is a B minor shape moved two frets towards the bridge.
G#m7 is a bar on the same fret as C#m, F shape.

The song starts with the chorus, instrumental.


[Am]Lindy flew his plane across the dark Atlantic
[Dm]Put her down near Paris and the crowd went frantic
[E]They raced across the field 
[Am]To touch the wings and wheels and
[B7]reach inside the cockpit just to
[E]see if he was real

[Am]Back in New York City people watched and waited, the
[Dm]news came down the wire and they celebrated and
[E]in that time so brief
It was [F#m]everyone's belief
That the [C#m]world had grown no [G#7]bigger
Than a [C#m]pocket handker[E]chief

When [A] Lindy [E7]comes to town 
And all the bands are playing
When [D]Lindy [A7]comes to [D]town
And all the flags [A7]are [D]waving
Mr [E]Coolidge he will say
It's a [F#m]public holiday
You can [C#m]see them ride down [G#7] Wall Street 
In a [C#m]ticker-tape par[E]ade

I want to [A]be there [E7]in that [A]crowd
Upon that bright [E7]bright [A]morning
And [D]I can [A7]tell the [D]world 
I saw a new [A7]day [D]dawning
With my [E]baby by my side
In [F#m]among that human [D]tide
I want to [A]be right there when Lindy comes to [F#m]town[D]

I want to [A]be right there when [E]Lindy comes to [Am]town..
(Am->G->F->E based run...)

(LJ's chops....)

[Am]Every day is better than the day before it
[Dm]If I see a raincloud then I just ignore it
[E]Everybody says
It'll [Am]get much better yet
It's [B7]1927 and my [E]whole life lies ahead

[Am]Gonna get myself a car and find a place to park it
[Dm]Get a little cash and put it in the market and
[E]on my wedding day
I will [F#m]turn around and say
There [C#m]never was a [G#7]better time
Than [C#m]this one any[E]way

When Lindy comes to town ......
