  C
Ah London you're a lady
          F G
Laid out before my eyes
   C
Your golden heart is pulsing
 Am          F
Between your scarred up thighs
   C
Your eyes are full of sadness
           F G
Red busses skirt your hem
   C
Your head-dress is a ring of lights
   Am        F
But I would not follow them
   F
Your architects were madmen
   C         F G
Your builders sane but drunk
 C
Among your faded jewels
   Am       F
Shine acid house and punk

  C
You are a scarlet lady
			 F G
Your streets run red with blood
   C
Oh my darling they have used you
  Am        F
And covered you with mud
    C
It was deep down in your womb my love
		  F G
I drank my quart of sin
   C
While chinamen played cards and draughts
  Am		    F
And knocked back mickey finns
   F
Your piss is like a river
  C		   F G
Its scent is beer and gin
   C
Your hell is in the summer
    Am       F
And you blossom in the spring

  Am       F
September is your purgatory
C         Am/G#/Am
Christmas is your heaven
       F          C
And when the stinking streets of summer
          F G
Are washed away by rain
    C
At the dark end of a lonely street
    Am         F
That's where you lose your pain
   C     F     C   F
'Tis then your eyes light up my love
  C
And sparkle once again
