What a pretty song!

 

F Dm

(A) bell strikes, another night

D# Cm

Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache

F Dm

You've bought some coffee, butter and bread

D# Cm

You can't make a thing, 'cause the meter's dead

F G#

You've moved away

F G#

Told you're folks you're gonna stay away

D# G#

Bright lights, Soho, Waldorff Street

F D#

You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet

A#m G#

Somebody shows you 'round.

C# G#

Now you've met the London Boys

Things seem good again

B E F# Fm F

Someone cares about you

 

F Dm

Oh the first time that you try a pill

D# Cm

You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill

F Dm

You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose face

D# Cm

To let yourself down would be a big disgrace

F G#

With the London Boys

F G#
