  			INTRO 
Bb Dm7 | Gm Eb F 
Bb Dm7 | Gm Eb F 

VERSE 
     Bb 
Good taste at times I've sometimes lacked 
  Ab/Bb          Eb 
I won't deny the truth 
                           Bb/D 
I got dressed up as Donald Duck 
                 F    F/G     F/A 
Making up for my re - pressed youth 
Bb                  
Disco balls and spandex pants 
   Ab/Bb        Eb 
On questionable friends 
      Bb/F                       F      F/G        F/Ab F/A  Bb 
Disco died but how the fog still rolled across the River   Thames 

VERSE 
Bb 
Snarling they just came along 
    Ab/Bb         Eb 
And cut us to the quick 
                     Bb/D 
Called us a bunch of dinosaurs 
         F    F/G     F/A 
And gave us a load of sticks 
     Bb 
Told us that the times was changing 
    Ab/Bb                Eb 
And all good things must end 
              Bb/F                   F      F/G       F/Ab F/A  Bb 
But I'm still here and the fog still rolls across the River   Thames 

Gm              D/F# 
Nelson's on his column 
Bb/F              C/E 
Ravens are in the Tower 
Eb             Bb/D 
Big Ben never lost his voice 
Am7             D7 
Chimes on every hour 
        Gm                      D/F# 
And the fog still rolls off the River Thames 
    Bb/F               C/E 
The forecast calls for rain 
Eb                          Bb/D 
London Bridge ain't falling down 
    D    D/Eb   D/E D/F#   Gm 
And some things never    change 

Instrumental 
Bb Dm7 | Gm Eb F 

VERSE 
    Bb 
The black-faced boys were holding tight 
    Ab/Bb           Eb 
And Thatcher's in a noose 
                       Bb/D 
Hair got teased beyond belief 
       F          F/G    F/A 
In the age of the golden goose 
    Bb 
The new romantics claimed the throne 
    Ab/Bb             Eb 
And we were wondering when 
         Bb/F                               F        F/G      F/Ab F/A  Bb 
But they lost their crown and the fog still rolled across the River   Thames 

Gm              D/F# 
Nelson's on his column 
Bb/F              C/E 
Ravens are in the Tower 
Eb             Bb/D 
Big Ben never lost his voice 
Am7             D7 
Chimes on every hour 
        Gm                      D/F# 
And the fog still rolls off the River Thames 
    Bb/F               C/E 
The forecast calls for rain 
Eb                          Bb/D 
London Bridge ain't falling down 
    D    D/Eb   D/E D/F#   Gm 
And some things never    change 

BRIDGE 
Eb                Bb/D 
Big bold letters screaming out 
  D7             Gm 
A scandal in the house 
Eb                 Bb/D 
Dogs without their vocal chords 
  D7          Gm 
Careers going south 
         Eb                F/Eb 
What the eye can't see the eye invents 
    Bb/D               Eb 
The truth was meant to bend 
            Bb/D                      F       F/G      F/Ab F/A  Bb 
But nothing changed and the fog still rolled across the River  Thames

Am7             D7

And the fog still rolls off the River Thames
