Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][G]
[C][F][G][C][F][G]
[C]Ah

[Verse 1]
London you're a lady
Laid out before [F]my eye[G]s
Your [C]heart of gold it pulses
Between [Am]your scarred [F]up thighs
Your [C]eyes are full of sadness
Red busses skirt [F]your hem
[G]Your head- dre[C]ss is a ring of lights
But I would [Am]not follow t[F]hem
Your architects were madmen
Your build[C]ers sane [F]but drunk[G]
Among [C]your faded jewels
Shine acid [Am]house [F]and punk
[C]You

[Verse 2]
are a scarlet lady
Your streets run [F]red with blood
[G]Oh [C]my darling they have
used you
And covered [Am]you [F]with mud
It was deep [C]down in your womb my love
I drank my quart of [F]sin
[G]While chiname[C]n played cards
and draughts
And knocked [Am]back mickey [F]finns

[Verse 3]
Your piss [F]is like a river
Its scent [C]is beer and [F]gin
[G]Your hell is [C]in the summer
And you blos[Am]som in the s[F]pring
[Am]September is your pur[F]gatory
Christ[C]mas is [Am]your heaven
And [F]when the stinking streets
[C]of summer
Are washed away [F]by rain
[G]At [C]the dark end of a lonely
street
That's where [Am]you lose your p[F]ain
'Tis then [C]your [F]eyes light
up [C]my [F]love
[C]And sparkle once again
