Lyrics
Town of Leesburg
by Doug Adair
Intro
C D
G Em
A7
D
Verse
G C
By dawn the streets will come to life
G D
Carrying people on their way
G C
The restaurants, the stores and shops
G D
Will open for the day
G C
The ancient courthouse in the heart of town
G D
Withstands the changing times
G C
And all around as noise abounds
G D
You can hear the old bells chime
Chorus
Am D
In the quiet of the night in the Town of Leesburg
G Em
The whole world seems at peace
Am D
All the stars up in the sky shine so clear and bright
G Em
Illuminating empty streets
Bridge
C D
Oh how grand
G Em
There's calm throughout the land
C D
It feels so right
G Em
When silence fills the night
A7
Sleep in serenity
D
Till the early morning light
Instrumental Break
Verse
G C
New buildings on the edge of town
G D
Reflect the morning sun
G C
The corridor reverberates
G D
So much commerce to be done
G C
When afternoon give way to dusk
G D
People climb back in their cars
G C
They race so fast to beat the rush
G D
As the old town fades to dark
Chorus
Am D
There's a stillness to the night in the Town of Leesburg
G Em
That puts a body right at ease
Am D
Only motion is the breeze that whispers through the trees
G Em
"Hush now, everyone's asleep"
Bridge
C D
Oh how grand
G Em
There's calm throughout the land
C D
It feels so right
G Em
When silence fills the night
A7
Sleep in serenity
D
Till the early morning light
Final
G C
By dawn the streets will come to life.....
