[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D]
[G][A][D][A][G][A][D][A][D][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
When [D]I first
came to [G]London I was [A]only [D]sixteen
With [G]a fiver in my [A]pocket
and my [D]ole dancing [A]bag
I [G]went down to the [A]dilly to
[D]check out the [A]scene
And [D]i soon ended [G]up on
the [A]old main [D]drag

[Verse 2]
There the [D]he- males and [G]the she-
males [A]paraded [D]in style
And the [G]old man with the [A]money
would [D]flash you [A]a smile
In [G]the dark of an [A]alley you'd
[D]work for a [A]fiver
For [D]a swift one off [G]the wrist
down on the [A]old main [D]drag

[Verse 3]
In [D]the cold winter [G]nights the old
[A]town it was [D]chill
But there [G]were boys in the [A]cafes
who'd [D]give you cheap [A]pills
If you did[G]n't have the [A]money
you'd ca[D]jole or you'd [A]beg
There was [D]always lots [G]of
tuinol on the [A]old main drag

[Interlude 1]
[D][A]

[Verse 4]
One [D]evening as I was [G]lying
down by [A]leicester [D]square
I was [G]picked up by [A]the coppers
and [D]kicked in the ball[A]s
Between the [G]metal doors [A]at vine
street I was [D]beaten and [A]mauled
And [D]they ruined my [G]good
looks for the [A]old main [D]drag

[Verse 5]
In [D]the tube station the [G]old ones
who were [A]on the way [D]out
Would [G]dribble and [A]vomit
and [D]grovel and [A]shout
And [G]the coppers would [A]come along
and [D]push them [A]about
And I [D]wished I could es[G]cape
from the [A]old main [D]drag

[Verse 6]
And [D]now I'm ly[G]ing here I've
[A]had [D]too [A]much [D]booze
I've [G]been shat on and [A]spat
on and [D]raped and ab[A]used
I [G]know that I am [A]dying and
I [D]wish I could [A]beg
For some [D]money to [G]take
me from the [A]old main drag
