O Mary, this London's [C] a wonderful [Am] sight, With [D] its people all working by [G] [C] day and [G] by night.
They don't sow potatoes, [C] nor barley, [A] nor wheat,
[D] But there's gangs of them digging [G] for gold in the street.
[D] At least when I asked them, [G] that's what I was told,
So I just took a [Em]
hand at [A] this digging [D] for gold.
[G] But for all that I found here, [C] I might as [A] well be
[D] Where the mountains of morn [C] sweep down [G] to the sea.
[G]
[D] [G] There's beautiful girls here, [C] oh never [A] you [Am] mind,
[D]
Beautiful shapes [G] nature never designed,
Lovely complexions [C] of roses [A] and cream.
[D] But let me remark [G] with regard to the saying,
[D] That if of these roses [G] you ventured to sip,
You might find [Em] they'd all [A] come away [D] on your lip.
[G] Don't be starting these fashions, [C] O Mary, [A] [Am] Mowgli,
[D] Where the mountains of morn [C] sweep down [G] to the sea.
[C] You [G] [D]
[G] remember young Donny [C] McLaren, [Bm] of [Am] course,
[D] Well he's over here [G] with the rest of the force.
I met him one day as [C] I crossed o [Bm]'er [Am] the Strand,
And [D] he stopped all the cars with [C] one wave of his hand.
[D] And as we stood talking [G] of days that were gone,
The whole town [Em] of London [A] stood still [D] and looked on.
[G] But for all his great powers, [C] he's wishful [Bm]
[Am] like me
[D] To be back where the dark morn sweep [C] down [G] to the sea.
