Verse 1
D 
A 
G 
D 
For better or worse,
A 
my adventures in America
G 
had made me a wiser person,
and now I've been given the chance
D 
to put my life back on track.
A 
As I was driven to the airport
for the final time
G 
before leaving New Or leans,
I asked the to take a short detour
Em 
past the place where I've been shot.
B 
These experiences would not stop me
G 
from seeing the funny side,
A 
but just the same, I never forget a face.
D 
And while I don't normally bear grudges,
A 
Fm 
if one day I should return,
vengeance will indeed be mine.
Meanwhile, I'd celebrate my origins
rather than hide them.
F 
I am a Londoner,
Fm 
after all.
Getting shot in New Orleans
had given me a limp
that, if not properly treated,
could turn into a permanent voodoo walk.
But the next time I see a zombie
coming towards me on the street,
I won't let him spook me out so much.
I'd even sing him a song.
