Dark streets of London
D - A - D
D G D
1. I liked to walk in the summer breeze,
D G A
down Dalling Road by the dead old trees,
D G D
and
drink with my friends in the Hammersmith Broadway,
D G A D
dear
dirty delightful old drunken old days.
D G D
2. Then the winter came down and I loved it so dearly,
D G A
the
pubs and the bookies where you’d spend all your time,
D
G D
and
the old men that were singing when the roses bloom again,
D G A D
and
turn like the leaves to the new summertime.
D G D
Then the winter came down and I can’t stand the chill
D
G A
that comes to the streets around
Christmas time,
D
G D
and I’m buggered to damnation and
I haven’t got a penny,
D A D
to wander the dark streets of
London.
+ instrumental = CHORUS
D G D
4. And every time that I look on the first day of summer
D
G A
takes
me back to the place where they gave EXT,
D G D
and
the drugged up psychos with death in their eyes,
D G A D
and
how all of this really means nothing to me.

instrumental = CHORUS
