London Town chords by Kill Henry Sugar
Verse 1
D
Oh, London Town, London Town,
A
Won't you take me home,
won't you be my gal?
D
Side by side on the Gallop Pole,
A
And I'll meet you down
G
D
where the heads will roll.
A
Well, the Romans came to London Town,
They tore her dress, they broke her down,
Wrapped her in the Holy Ghost,
D
And took her for a wife.
But the Holy Roman honeymoon,
A
It lasted till the afternoon,
D
They left her there beside the Thames
to start a better life
Oh, London Town, London Town,
A
won't you take me home,
won't you be my gal?
D
Side by side on the Gallop Pole,
A
and I'll meet you down
D
where the heads will roll
A
Well, the Saxons came in angles too,
like muscle men a war ensued
D
They put aside their pagan ways
and drank the blood of Christ
But they'd much more upon the street
It'd soak right
through, it'd stain their feet
A
They wore the crown
D
till the Normans came
Who had them sacrificed
Oh London Town,
London Town
A
Won't you take me home,
won't you be my gal
D
Side by side on the Gallop Pole
A
And I'll meet you down
D
where the heads will roll
A
On the people's faces joy would ring
To witness other's suffering
D
The king put out a chopping
block
And bleachers in the sun
Now London held the rule of law
And set her sights on distant shores
To rule the world, acquire wealth
And have a bit of fun
Oh London Town, London Town
A
Won't you take me home,
won't you be my gal
D
Side by side on the Gallop Pole
A
And I'll meet you down
G
D
where the heads will roll
A
By World War II they rang the bell
Incendiary bombs they fell
D
And Churchill in his hotel room
Drank scotch and made a speech
With dignity and manners too
The former colonies came through
A
D
Together they would jump the sea
And land it on the beach
Oh, London town, London town,
A
won't you take me home,
won't you be my gal?
D
Side by side on the gallop pole,
A
and I'll meet you down
D
where the heads will roll.
A
Oh, Risa girl, come out to play,
I can't understand a word you say.
D
A
D
Like Mona Lisa on the tube,
so late on Sunday morning.
A
D
You took me to the tower gate,
the lines were long, we had to wait.
A
D
I turned my back just to read the plaque
Well, you shot me without warning
Oh Ibi dear, you're just
A
in time
With skin so fair and hills to climb
D
Truth be told, you're Argentine
A
But London doesn't mind
They'll take you just the
D
way you are
A
D
A
Let's hope it doesn't leave a scar
D
Exercise your memory
For what you need to find
Oh London Town, London Town,
A
won't you take me home,
won't you be my gal?
D
Side by side on the Gallop Pole,
A
and I'll meet you down
where the heads will roll.
