C Am F When first I came to London town C/G G F G C A stranger I did come C Am F I'd walk the streets so silently C/G G F G C I did not know no-one Am Em F G C I was thinking thoughts and dreaming dreams C Em F G The kind when you roll along C Am F But most of all I was thinking about C/G G Am Em F G the land I'd left back home I'd stand by the river Themes with the wind blowing through my hair. And who should come and stand by me but a London gal so fair. Her eyes were blue, her hair was brown Her face was gentle and kind For a second, well, I clear forgot The land I left behind As we began walking and talkin' All through the English air I did not know where we'd end up 'til we came to the top of a stair As we lay round on a worn-out rug the room it was so cold And we talked for hours by the inside fire 'bout the outside world so old. All through our sweet conversation She thought my ways were so strange But I know there was one thing about me That she would try to change And the night passed on with the drizzeling rain There's one thing I found out A pair of sweet curls I know too well, Her love I know not much about And I awoke the next morning And the rain had turned to snow I looked out of her window And I knew that I must go I did not know how to tell her I didn't know if I could But she smiled a smile I'd never seen To say she understood. And thinking of her as I stood in the snow How strange she appeared to be, On the reason I was leaving, she seemed no better than me. I gazed all up at her window where the snowy snow-flakes blowed I put my hands in my pockets And I walked 'long down the road. So it's now I'm leaving London, boys Well, the town I'll soon forget, Likewise its winds and weather Likewise some people I met But there's one thing that's for certain Sure as the sunshine down I'll never forget that Liverpool Gal Who lived in London Town. | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsAm C Em F G |
