Intro: G G C D   (x4) 

Verse 

 G                C     D 
It’s throwing out time 
 G                C     D 
The sun hits my eyes 
 G            C    D 
The sweet inspiration 
 G              C  D 
Of Farringdon station 

 G              C    D 
I’ve nowhere to be 
 G              C    D  
I’m aimlessly free 
 G           C    D 
Kicking the cans in 
 G         C   D 
Paddington basin 

 
  C           G 
Six whiskies in me 
  C                            G 
I stumble through this pretty city 
D    C                 G  
I sing it until they arrest me 
    Am              D 
And I declare my undying love for you 


G  G  C   D  (x2) 

Verse 
 G          C    D 
West end my friend 
 G            C    D 
Dance with me again 
 G                   C     D 
The drunks and their antics 
 G            C    D 
The hopeless romantics 

 G               C    D  
And there on the wind 
 G          C    D 
A familiar ring 
 G              C     D 
Half pence and farthings 
 G                C      D 
Say the bells of St. Martins 

          
  C           G 
Six whiskies in me 
  C                            G 
I stumble through this pretty city 
D    C                 G  
I sing it until they arrest me 
    Am              D 
And I declare my undying love for you

Verse 
 G                     C    D 
Through all that we’ve shared 
 G             C   D 
The stormy and fare 
 G             C   D  
Our ages are showing 
 G                    C     D 
But the river keeps flowing 

 G                    C    D 
Still I’ve nowhere to be 
 G             C   D 
I’m aimlessly free 
 G                 C    D 
Like all of those dole days 
 G                 C    D 
Down old Deptford Broadway 


  C           G 
Six whiskies in me 
  C                            G 
I stumble through this pretty city 
D    C                 G  
I sing it until they arrest me 
    Am              D 
And I declare my undying love for you
