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

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

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

Melody (2x) alone
