Intro Backing Guitar: (C,C,C,C) (F,F,G,G) (C,F,C,G) (C,F,C,G)

Ah [C]London you're a lady
Laid out before my [F]ey[G]es
Your [C]golden heart is pulsing
Be[Am]tween your scarred up [F]thighs
Your [C]eyes are full of sadness
Red busses skirt your [F]he[G]m
Your [C]head-dress is a ring of lights
But I [Am]would not follow [F]them
Your [F]architects were madmen
Your [C]builders sane but [F]dru[G]nk
A[C]mong your faded jewels
Shine [Am]acid house and [F]punk

You [C]are a scarlet lady
Your streets run red with [F]blo[G]od
Oh my [C]darling they have used you
And [Am]covered you with [F]mud
It was [C]deep down in your womb my love
I drank my quart of [F]si[G]n
While [C]chinamen played cards and draughts
And [Am]knocked back mickey [F]finns
Your [F]ps is like a river
Its [C]scent is beer and [F]gi[G]n
Your [C]hell is in the summer
And you [Am]blossom in the [F]spring

Sep[Am]tember is your p[F]urgatory
[C]Christmas is your [Am/G#/Am]heaven
And when the [F]stinking streets of [C]summer
Are washed away by [F]ra[G]in
At the [C]dark end of a lonely street
That's [Am]where you lose your [F]pain
'Tis [C]then your [F]eyes light [C]up my [F]love
And [C]sparkle once again
