Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
W- [G]A- S- H- I- N- G- T- O- N, baby, D.C.
W- A- S- H- I- N- G- T- O- N, baby,
[D]D.C.
[G]Washington, [D]D.C. It's

[Verse 2]
[C]
paradise [G]to me
It's [Am]not because it is the [C]grand old [G]seat
[D]Of pre[Am] cious freedom and dem[C]ocracy
[G]No, [D]no, no
It's [C]not the greenery turning
[Em]gold in [Am]fall
The scenery [G]circling the [D]Mall
It's [Am]just that's where my baby [C]lives
That's [G]all

[Verse 3]
Washington [D]D.C.
It's the [C]greatest place [G]to be
It's [Am]not the cherries every
[C]where in [G]bloom[D]
It's [Am]not the way they put
[C]folks on [G]the moon
No, [D]no, no
It's [C]not the spec[Em]tacles
and pageantry
[Am]The thousand [G]things you've got to [D]see
It's [Am]just that's where
my baby [C]waits for [G]me

[Verse 4]
W- A- S- H- I- N- G- T- O- N, baby, D.C.
W- A- S- H- I- N- G- T- O- N, baby,
D.C.
[G]Washington, [D]D.C.

[Verse 5]
[C]
It fits me to a [G]T
[Am]It's not the people doing [C]something [G]real
[D]It's not[Am] the way the springtime
[C]makes you [G]feel
No, [D]no, no
It [C]ain't no [Em]famous name
on a golden [Am]plaque
That makes [G]me ride that railroad [D]track
It's my [Am]baby's kiss that keeps
me [C]coming [G]back
It's my [C]baby's kiss that
[D]keeps me [G]coming back
