London Lyrics

Rie fu London Lyrics

I've been sad over the lack of love on the interwebs and UG for this beautiful song.
chords are based on the live version, lyrics from the album version.
it's not perfect, but close enough to fudge it. hopefully somebody can improve on it eventually.
The air was dry in London, I was on the bus to Holborn
The orange light upon the eye was getting in my way
Everybody's saying What (are) you going to do afterwards?
G C~ ~G C
What (are) you going to do after you graduate?
The air was dry in London,
I was watching the cars and the taxis that go by
The orange light upon the eye was getting in my way
Everybody's running Everybody's standing still
G C ~G D
Everybody's waiting for you
Get on the westbound, change at Baker Street station,
Buskers keep on playing the day
The smell of beers and bottles, roses and regattas,
Doves and newspapers fly away
And We'll be walking down the river,
pretty houses down the stream
Look down at the pavement, and it's looking back at me
Time goes by so slowly, no long distance calls to blame
C D~ G
Yes, you have made my day!
The air was dry in London, I was on the bus to Old Street
The orange light upon the eye was getting in my way
Everybody's running Everybody's speeding up
G C~G (D)
But I'm right here waiting for you
Get on the southbound, change at Waterloo station,
Men in suits are playing the day
The smell of cigarettes on the tip of my hair
Doves and newspapers fly away
And We'll be walking down the river,
pretty houses down the stream
Look down at the pavement, and it's looking back at me
Time goes by so slowly, no long distance calls to blame
C D~ G
Yes, you have made my day!
Get on the rapid train, I'm running late again
Men in suits are playing the day
The smell of beers and bottles, roses and regattas,
Doves and newspapers fly away
And we'll be laughing as we walk on,
making plans upon our dreams
The wishes come together as we pave our roads so free
Time goes by so slowly, no long distance calls to blame
Yes, you have made my day!
