LEANING ON THE LAMP POST
Herman's Hermits
C G
I'm leaning on the lamp
F C
Maybe you think I look a tramp
C G F C
Or maybe you think I'm round to steal a car
C G
But no, I'm not a crook
F C
And if you think that's what I look
C G F C
I'll tell you why and what my motives are
C G
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
F G C
In case a certain little lady comes by
G C
Oh me, oh my
G F C
In case a certain little lady comes by
C
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
G
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
F G C
And anyone can understand why
C F G C
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
G F C
In case a certain little lady comes by
C
She doesn't always get away
G
She cannot always get away
F G C
But anyway I know that she'll try
G C
Oh me, oh my
G F C
I hope that little lady comes by
C F G
She's not the kind of girl to be late for
C G F
But this one I'd break any date for
C G F
I won't have to ask what she's late for
G
She'd never leave me flat
G
She's not a girl like that
C
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
G
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
F G C
And anyone can understand why
C F G C
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street

I think most of it is correct. The 5th stanza was slightly problematic. I hope I've got
the chord progression right. Any comments are welcome at tagsaurabh@rediffmail.com .
