Key: C major
Verse 1
Am
Dm
C
I had no idea where I was going
How I lived or what I did here
The yawning gulf between
Hangs like a rope from a
wooden beam
Breathing life into these stone -cold lids
Putting gas into this battered
F
C
old stretch limousine
London

London
I smell the smell of decay

And stumble through the streets of grey
It never rains, but it sometimes does

Please, sir, can I have some more?
How long can you carry on?

And how the time's done
London, take off your clothes
Busy at
London, tip your hat
Show me your boarding scowl
The empire's gone

Go directly to the graveyard
Send your hooker along the way

Do not force to us directions
There are no signs along the way

City of
London

Ten square miles of home
F
G
And how the dirt is done
you know they're evil
Like a face or a dog or a place
I've got problems you wouldn't believe
And I'm quite ready to talk about them
City of
London, take off your clothes
City of
London, tip your hat
And show me your boarding scowl
The
Empire's gone
How did you like the song?
