DO
Ah London you're a lady
FA SOL
Laid out before my eyes
DO
Your golden heart is pulsing
LAm FA
Between your scarred up thighs
DO
Your eyes are full of sadness
FA SOL
Red busses skirt your hem
DO
Your head-dress is a ring of lights
LAm FA
But I would not follow them
FA
Your architects were madmen
DO FA SOL
Your builders sane but drunk
DO
Among your faded jewels
LAm FA
Shine acid house and punk
DO
You are a scarlet lady
FA SOL
Your streets run red with blood
DO
Oh my darling they have used you
LAm FA
And covered you with mud
DO
It was deep down in your womb my love
FA SOL
I drank my quart of sin
DO
While chinamen played cards and draughts
LAm FA
And knocked back mickey finns
FA
Your piss is like a river
DO FA SOL
Its scent is beer and gin
DO
Your hell is in the summer
LAm FA
And you blossom in the spring
LAm FA
September is your purgatory
DO LAm/SOL#/LAm
Christmas is your heaven
FA DO
And when the stinking streets of summer
FA SOL
Are washed away by rain
DO
At the dark end of a lonely street
LAm FA
That's where you lose your pain
DO FA DO FA
'Tis then your eyes light up my love
DO
And sparkle once again
Melody (2x) alone
DO FA SOL DO FA SOL DO FA SOL DO (3x)
