Around the back, away from the road,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|

Behind the bins, beneath your window,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|

Of a shattered old piano.

Someone had torn out some of the keys

BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|

With cruel care, not thoughtlessly,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|

  A augmentedA sinner amongst saved men

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------------0----------------0---------------|

 on the banks of the muddy Thames.

As I have wandered through this city,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Like a child lost in the London fog,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|

From Highgate Hill, down to the river,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then washed downstream past the Isle of Dogs,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

I've had time enough to think upon


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

The question of what kind of songs


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|

That you would choose to listen to

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|

Now that I am gone.


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

And as I drift beneath that bridge,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Just down the road from where you live,


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|

I've often thought I might have caught

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|

Your voice upon the wind.

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

But as I stroked those broken keys


e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------|
G+G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-|
D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
A augmentedA|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

You did not join in harmony.


Chorus:

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|

D MajorD|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---|
