Chords for What a day in London - lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ The sun comes up, the lamps go down, the day [Bb] begins in London town.
There's tea to brew and buns to bike, and some who just refuse to work.
[B] While shops are stocked and flocks are fed, the midnight men drift home to bed.
[Ab] There's time and [Gb] church bells [E] ring, children walk [Bb] and the _ sea.
What a day [Ab] in [Eb] London, come listen and hear.
_ [Ab] Everyone knows someone, [Eb] they are from far and near.
[Bb] They clink their keys, their eyes are sweet, [G] the beat that [Gm] means they're stoned.
And hope and [Bb] pray someone will say there's something [Eb] they might find. _ _ _
_ Look [Bb] at Humpty's weight!
_ [Eb] Whips to slap and feet to gats.
[Bb] Exactly, Evan [C] Bobbs.
Thank the Lord and kiss the ground, for bed and [Eb] board in London town.
[B] The upper crust life asks me.
But some of us got floors to [Ab] sweep, one day's life a day before.
[E] How can I, [Bb] if there's no war?
_ [Ab]
What a day in London, [Eb] everything for [Bb] sale, [Ab] trousers and bonnets.
_ [Eb] Look up!
Is that the galloping [Gm] Latreya?
It's [Am] not a dream, it's moving, see?
[A] A dream?
What can it be?
[C] Look there, I swear, [Cm] she's flying through the air.
[Gm] She must be wild!
[Bb] She's just a child!
[Eb] I wish I [Cm] had [D] her!
_ Would you care to join me [G] here, on the ground, this instant?
[C] My heart is pounding like a drum, I can't believe my eyes.
In London people seem to [F] come in every shape and size.
So many paths, I wonder how they find their way.
So many signs, [D] I want [Dm] _ _ to [G] say. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ London is [F] everything I've heard and more.
London is nothing like I've seen before.
_ _ Music and [Em] feathered hats and roofs that shine, [D] with flags flying high _ _ _ in the air.
She seems so sweet, she means [F] us well.
What do you [G] think?
How can you [D] tell?
We're rude this day, you wait and [Cm] see.
What is [F] to be or not to be?
_ [Gm] _
_ [C] How do they build their huts so tall?
Can this be all one tribe?
[G] The things they sell, the things I smell, I never could describe.
These cakes taste just like berries picked this very day.
The sound a river makes still tastes [D] my breath.
_ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Db] _ London's as busy [Gb] as a hive of bees.
_ [Db] Grandmother Willow would just love these [Gb] trees.
Crowded [Fm] but so exciting too, [Ab] with colours I_
[Db] _ _
[Dbm] _ _ [Gb] What a day in London, [Db] nothing's free there for.
[Gb] Santa go, _ [Db] ladies and be told.
[Gb] This may be come a day no [Bbm] one is likely to forget.
[Eb] A game in or in that will never fade to the [Fm] next.
It is rare, I'm quite [Ab] impressed.
One mustn't stare, she's barely dressed.
The strength of [Gb] ten, that's what I've heard.
You [Db] want the men, just take my word.
A [E] brave young thing, you'd better have it.
It's really an innovation, dear.
Perhaps a [Gbm] brute witch, but [D] not with you, I saw her [G] first.
What a day in [D] London, history must fade.
Take [G] away the mystery [D] and you're not afraid.
[E] We've seen the [G] world, I've seen the world.
[Gb] I never dreamed [Bm] I'd see.
_ [B] And what a special place, unique and truly every way.
How wonderful this London [E] day.
Her love's the [D] way. _ _ _ _
