1. Oh, London in the spring makes me feel so lucky I'm alive,

                                    -  Em                              A

    I've got love to give,         I've got my whole life to live.

        D                          F#m

    Walkin' through the park,

      D                             D7                          G

    sunshine pours like honey through the trees,

           D                       Em      - A

    I believe I'm comin' home.

 

              Em                G               Em                    A

    Well, some people tell me I've better things to do,

                            D                       C                           G

    and more productive ways that I could spend my time.

                 Em                G     Em                      A

    But I'm not sure, I agree, it often seems to me,

                           D                 C                      G

    we spend our lives talkin' foolish, runnin' blind.

                      Em                                         A

    And we forget how to enjoy the simple things,

            Em                    A7                     D

    like walkin' through London in the spring.

2. Whoa, London in the spring, see St. Paul's Cathedral

                 G                           Em                   A7

    like a man of high society, calmly sittin', quietly.

                     D                      F#m

    And you watch the river Thames,

        D                    D7                         G

    weaving like a needle through the town,

                        D                Em   - A

    all the way down to the sea.

 

              Em                G               Em                 A

    Well, some people tell me, the best is far behind us,

            D                     C                  G

    it's hopeless to be hopeful, anymore.

                Em                G             Em                   A

    But I'm not sure I agree, I am hoping love will find us,

             D                        C                    G

    and gently guide our vessel to the shore,

                           Em                                     A

    where there'll be no need for beggars or kings,

        Em                      A                      D

    all equal to share London in the spring.
