London In The Spring Chords by Passenger

London In The Spring chords by Passenger

Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

NOTE:
He uses fingerpicking throughout the song. The chord descriptions listed below should closely match the
strings he picks for those chords in context. In particular, note that he seems to be only playing 3 strings
for the Em*, EmMaj7, D6sus4, Em6. The names I have chosen are my best guess for the full chord names that
would be played if strumming that section of the choruses.

Note that the intro is repeated twice and, although not exact, it should be very close to what he plays.

The picking in the verses generally seems to follow the pattern of this example:
   D               Dmaj7             D7
e|-------2---------------2---------|-------2---------------2---------|
B|-------------3---------------2---|-------------1---------------1---|
G|-----2---------------2-----------|-----2---------------2-----------|
D|-0-------0-------0-------0-------|-0-------0-------0-------0-------|
A|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
   1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a   1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

In the spots in the chorus indicated with D*, he seems to be playing the Dsus2 D transition from the intro:
   Dsus2   D
e|-------0h2------
B|-----------3----
G|-----2-------2--
D|-0--------------
A|----------------
E|----------------
   1 e + a 2 e +

Verse 1:
   D             Dmaj7
Oh London in the Spring
D7                           G
Makes me feel so lucky I'm alive
         G/F#
I've got love to give
Em                A7
I've got my whole life to live
D                    Dmaj7
Walkin' through the park
D7                                      G
Sunshine pours like honey through the trees
      G/F#            Em  A7
I believe I'm comin' home

Chorus 1:
      Em*         EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
      D6sus4          Em6
I've better things to do
            D*
And more productive ways
     C                 G  C/G G
That I could spend my time
        Em*           EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
   D6sus4         Em6
It often seems to me we
           D*            C                  G C/G G
Spend our lives talkin' foolish, runnin' blind
           Em                           A7  A7sus2 A7
And we forget how to enjoy the simple things
      Em              A7              Dsus2
Like walkin' through London in the Spring

Instrumental:
      D  Dmaj7 D7  D7sus4 D7 D7sus2
G5  G G5 G/F#  Em7 A7

Verse 2:
      D             Dmaj7
Whoa, London in the Spring
D7
See St. Paul's Cathedral like
    G              G/F#
(A) man of high society
Em               A7
Calmly sittin' quietly
         D                Dmaj7
And you watch the river Thames
D7
Weaving like a needle through the town
G                 G/F#
  All the way down to the sea


Chorus 2:
      Em*         EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
     D6sus4        Em6
The best is far behind us
      D*             C           G  C/G G
It's hopeless to be hopeful, anymore
        Em*          EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
      D6sus4           Em6
I am hoping love will find us
     D*               C              G  C/G G
And gently guide our vessel to the shore
            Em                            A7
Where there'll be no need for beggers or kings
    Em              A7              Dsus2
All equal to share London in the Spring

Outro:
   Dsus2   D       Dmaj7             D7              D7sus4  D7 D7sus2
