Sights And Sounds Of London Town Chords by Richard Thompson

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ Oh jelly and cheese, it don't cost a lot
Transit down on the quarter [A] past
Friday [B] night leaves the kids at [C] home
And struts her [D] stuff on the Eastern [E] Road
Saying, do you want [G] some company, darling?
[E] Do you [G] want some company now?
[Em] My place, [G] your place, or no place
[C] I could use the extra [D] cash anyhow
[G] The [D] sad sound [G] sounds of London [G] town
The sad [G] sound sounds of London [D] town
[E] The sad [Bm] sound sounds [C] of [D] [G] London town
Oh _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Jean-Paul, he come over from Toulouse
They taught him that London was the garden [A] goose
Never got his [G] hands on enough to eat
[C] He never did get [D] his ass up off the [G] street
Wanted to be a rap DJ
They took his post and they turned him [A] away
Under the radar [Bm] of your fellow man
[C] Well all that [D] charisma, it ain't worth a [E] damn
Saying lend me your [G] shoes till Monday
[E] Oh brother, can you [G] lend me a comb?
[Em] I can wash [G] dishes all night [C] long
I just need my [D] fare back home
[G] The [D] sad sound [G] sounds of [D] London [G] town
[D] The sad sound [G] sounds of [D] London town
[G] The sad sound sounds [C] of [D] London [G] town
Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Jackie, she tried just about everything
She tried to dance, she tried to [Am] sing
Too many [G] doors slammed in your [C] face
And leaves a [D] nasty [G] aftertaste
Scramble around for a little bit of cash
Ease the pain with Mr.
[A] Flash
Sentence [G] cuts is the rendezvous
[C] For those who share [D] your point of [E] view
Saying this is [G] the last time you'll see me
[E] Never [G] again, no way
[Em] One more [G] time, I'll never ask you [C] again
I've just got to [D] get through [G] today
The sad sound sounds of [D] London town
[G] The sad [G] sound sounds of London [D] town
[E] The sad [G] sound [C] sounds of [D] [G] London town
Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Mickey, he sleeps every two or three days
Runs through Seoul like a rat through [Am] a maze
A little black [G] male here staying on the [C] side
Enough to get [D] started on the next [G] enterprise
Dress is expensive, but that's just a crutch
Like his word or his handshake, it doesn't mean [A] much
Depends on his [G] kickback from the middle man
[C] And whatever he can [D] beat out of Sally [Em] Ann
Saying, lucky I'm [G] the one you ran into
Or [E] lucky I've [G] taken a shine
[Em] Lucky I'm [G] needing a partner
[C] 50-50 [D] right down the [G] line
Oh, that's the sad sound [G] sounds of [D] London town
[D] The sad sound sounds [G] of London [D] town
[E] The sad [Bm] sound sounds [C] of [D] London _ [G] town _ _ _
