A            G           D       E

I didn't want to be some satellite clown

      D           E               D                 E

So I went up to London 'cuase I heard it's falling down

            A         G         D      E

Found the Denis the Menace of Little Venice

         D             E         D           E

Still digging up the bones of Strummer and Jones



    F#m

Revolutionary day were sadly over

       A

And a cool profile down Ladbroke Grove

       D          E

Won't make it no more

           D              E

You could wake up in a doorway



   A         D      A           E

London's brilliant when it's raining

    A         E      D

Everybody's moaning and complaining

   A       E     D     A

London's dismal and divine

       D                 E

And I know one day, one day



It's going to be...



F#m

Mine eyes have seen the gory

  A

Faces of those bitter men

            D    E

And their bawdy talk

      A

And that's not all

F#m                            A

Every night before I close my eyes

                          D

I'd say a prayer to my desires



Hung up on the poster on the wall



Don't let me grow up to fail and fall

               E

If I must grow up at all



           A           G             D                  E

Well the night's got chilly and he swore he'd love me silly

          D              E            D            E

But he couldn't raise a spark in the dark in Hyde Park

        A          G         D                E

With a bite and a bark, he tried to make his mark

            D             E       D            E

Now he's getting fucked silly somewhere in Picadilly



   F#m

He said I could be a little Madam in Mayfair

          A

But I'd rather wakle up in a doorway somewhere

     D            E

`Cos in the long run

              D     E

I'll propably be someone



   A         D      A           E

London's brilliant when it's raining

    A         E      D

Everybody's moaning and complaining

   A       E     D     A

London's dismal and divine

       D                 E

And I know one day, one day



It's going to be...



  F                    D

London's brilliant
