Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Refrain:
Cm        Ab     Cm
Portebello road, Portebello road
Cm             Ab7    G7
Street where the riches of ages are stowed.
Cm             Ab    Cm
Anything and everything a chap can unload
  Cm           Ab     Cm
Is sold off the barrow in Portebello road.
    Cm            Ab7  Gb7  Cm
You’ll find what you want in the Portebello road.

Verse 1:
Cm       Ab    Cm
Rare alabaster? Genuine plaster!
  Cm        G7
A filigreed samovar owned by the czars.
  Cm          Ab    Cm
A pen used by Shelley? A new Boticelli?
   Cm             Ab7 G7   Cm
The sniper that clipped old King Edward’s cigars?

Verse 2:
Cm           Ab    Cm
Waterford Crystals? Napoleon’s pistols?
 Cm          G7
Society heirlooms with genuine gems!
Cm            Ab    Cm
Rembrandts! El Greco’s! Toulouse-Letrec’os!
Cm            Ab7 G7   Cm
Painted last week on the banks of the Thames!

Refrain:
Cm        Ab     Cm
Portebello road, Portebello road
Cm             Ab7    G7
Street where the riches of ages are stowed.
Cm             Ab    Cm
Anything and everything a chap can unload
  Cm           Ab     Cm
Is sold off the barrow in Portebello road.
    Cm            Ab7  Gb7  Cm
You’ll meet all your chums in the Portebello road

Verse 3:
     Cm         Ab    Cm
There’s pure inspiration in every creation.
  Cm          G7
No cheap imitations, not here in me store.
   Cm           Ab     Cm
With garments as such as was owned by a Duchess.
   Cm         Ab7 G7   Cm
Just once at some royal occasion of yore.

Refrain:
  Cm        Ab     Cm
In Portebello Road, Portebello Road
Cm              Ab7    G7
The fancies and fineries of ages are showed.
Cm             Ab    Cm
A lady will always feel dressed a la mode
  Cm            Ab     Cm
In frillies she finds in the Portebello road.

“Burke’s Peerage;” “The Bride Book;” “The Fishmonger’s Guidebook;”

A Victorian novel, “The Unwanted Son;”
   Cm            Ab     Cm
“The History of Potting”, “The Yearbook of Yachting,”
   Cm          Ab7 G7  Cm
The leather bound “Life of Attila the Hun.”

Refrain:
Cm        Ab     Cm
Portebello road, Portebello road
Cm             Ab7    G7
Street where the riches of ages are stowed.
Cm            Ab   Cm
Artifacts to glorify our regal abode
  Cm            Ab     Cm
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portebello road.
    Cm            Ab7  Gb7  Cm
You’ll find what you want in the Portebello road.

Verse 5:
Cm           Ab      Cm
Tokens and treasures, yesterday’s pleasures
 Cm         G7
Cheap imitations of heirlooms of old
Cm           Ab      Cm
Dented and tarnished, scarred and unvarnished
  Cm           Ab7  G7     Cm
In old Portebello they’re bought and they’re sold

Refrain:
Cm        Ab     Cm
Portebello road, Portebello road
Cm             Ab7    G7
Street where the riches of ages are stowed.
Cm            Ab   Cm
Artifacts to glorify our regal abode
  Cm            Ab     Cm
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portebello road.
    Cm            Ab7  Gb7  Cm
You’ll find what you want in the Portebello road.
