Verse 1:
G F         Em             E D
I just left Victoria Gardens
G   F              Em                E D
And walked through cardboard city land
G F        Em             E D
A burnt out star was asking
G   F               Em            E D
How would I like to shake his hand
C E                Am   G
I walked on in no hurry
D
And wondered where did we go wrong?

G      F           Em        E D
It’s a bloody fine situation
G       F              Em  E D
That we find ourselves in
G                 F          Em           E D
He said something I couldn’t mention here
G      F                  Em  E D
And we laughed with him again

Bridge:
C Em              Am    G

Verse:
G   F         Em           E D
And now it is early evening
G F           Em                   E D
I look across grey Leicester Square
G F         Em                       E D
A large and silent crowd were walking
G    F              Em               E D
Said they had every right to be there

G    F              Em               E D
Said they had every right to be there x 5 to fade
