6 6 5  -5 6 -4
The night seems to fade
4 -5 -3 -4  3  2* -1
But the moonlight lingers on
-4  2* 2* -3 4 -5 7 7 6    6 -5
There are wonders for everyone...woo ho 
3 4 -5 6 -4
The stars shine so bright,
5 -5 -3 -4 3 2* -1
But they're fading after dawn
-4 2* 2* -3  4 6 -4 -4 -5 5
There is magic in Kingston Town

Oh Kingston Town,
-4 -4 -5 -4 -3 -3 3
The place I long to be
-3 -4 4 -3 -4 4 
If I had the whole world
-3 -4 4 -5 -4 -4 -3
I would give it away 
-4 4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 6 -5
Just to see the girls at play

4  -5 6 -4
when I am king,
4 -5 -3 -4 3 2* -1
Surely I would need a queen
-4 2* 2* -3  4 -5 7 7 6   6 -5
And a palace and everything, yeah yeah
3 4 -5 6 -4
And now I am king,
4 -5 -3 -4 3 2* -1
And my queen will come at dawn
-4 2* 2* -3  4  6 -4 -4 -5 5
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town
