[Verse 1]
Eb        Ab         Cm
  The night seems to fade
        Db                Eb
But the moonlight lingers on
          Db          Eb    Ab
There are wonders for everyone, oh
Eb       Ab          Cm
  The stars shine so bright
            Db           Eb
But they're fading after dawn
         Db       Eb          Ab
There is magic in Kingston Town 

[Chorus]
   Cm       Fm
Oh Kingston Town
    Gm              Cm
The place I long to be

I would give it away

Just to see, the girls at play

When I am king

Surely I would need a queen
      Db         Eb      Ab
And a palace and everything, yeah
Eb       Ab     Cm
  And now  I am king
       Db                 Eb
And my queen will come at dawn
          Db         Eb          Ab
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town
