[Bm] [D] [G]
[Em] [A]
I [D] found a postcard the other day
[G] A faded photograph taken of [D] a cold [F#m] winter's gate
[Bm] And all the children [D] that [D] gathered [A] round
Asked what the [Em] place was on the faded [D] card that I had found
It [G] was a city I [D] used to know
And [Bm] as a child when [A] it was Christmas [E] I played in the [A] winter snow
It was the [D] homeland I [Bm] left [A] behind
A [Em] better future waiting in the [A] new world that we [D] hoped to find
[G] Across the oceans, far south we [F#m] came
Left [Bm] the country [F#m] that somehow we [E] knew we'd never [A] see again
And [D] read the message [F#m] that [Bm] you [A] wrote
[Em] On the reverse of [A] that same postcard always seemed to [D] give me hope
Though [G] time will pass us and [D] fade from [F#m] view
I [Bm] hope sometimes you [F#m] think of me [E] because I'll always [A] think of you
And [D] to the children [Bm] that gathered [A] round
I [Em] said this is the place that long [A] ago we all called [D] London town
[G] Postcards from London's [D] romantic [F#m] views
[Bm] Only serves to [D] keep reminding [G] me of how [A] [G] much [A] I [D] miss you
[Bm]
[G] [Em]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [G]
[A] [G] By Hampstead Pond, walked [Am] down to Waterloo at Yuletide
[G] And we sang so [Bm] many songs, [Em] later you went [G] there
Not to return, I [Am] took for granted love we had
Now [G] I will always yearn for [C] that great city we [G] used to know
We [Em] were so innocent [G] back then when [A] we played in the [D] winter snow
And [G] now the children [Bm] who [Em] gathered round
[G] I [C] swear the place is [Am] in the postcard [D] I say proudly
It was London [G] town
