The Times - This Is London

      [Verse]

Am
I'm walking in the streets of Battersea
G
In search of happiness
Am
But all I find is misery
G
In this London borough mess

D
My very best friend deserted me
 C     H           Am
For someone else today
F
She met a small-time insurance broker
            G
And they'll be married by next May

Am
We had some rows and we had some scenes
G
But a couple of laughs as well
Am
And everything seemed just like it should
G
That's what I thought myself

D
But now I see how wrong I was
C       H            Am
And crying won't make it better
F
'Cos life's got nothing left for me
          G
Since the day I cried forever

[Chorus]

Am   G   D
This is London
Am   G   D
Your own London

[Verse]

Am
I stumble into a café
G
In search of a little chat
Am
The conversation, tea and scones
G
But nothing came of that


D
'Cause now I'm stuffed to talk to anyone no more
C      H         Am
In case you're one of them
F
You're the motion from another world,
G
And they're the real men


Am
The Leicester Square and Soho lights
G
Confuse my confused thoughts
Am
I'm stopped and asked for directions
G
By an American tourist in shorts

D
I've had enough, I can't take any more
C        H        Am
I'll go round to her flat,
F
And tell her there's nothing left for me
G
Since the day I cried forever

[Chorus]

Am    G   D
This is London
Am    G   D
Your own London

[Chorus]

Am    G    D
This is London
Am    G    D
Your own London

Am    G    D
This is London
Am    G    D
Your own London

Am    G    D
This is London
Am    G    D
Your own London
