Lord Byron had a lot of luggage

He took it when he traveled far and wide 
Bm               A           D  
He didn't get to bathe very often 
D                            A              D  
But he liked to change his clothes all the time

I had a little friend named Mister Johnson

Still out here in the wind and rain

Look a little older but I feel no pain

And it stands to reason 
D             G         D 
I'm still looking for love

D              A        D  
I went to the Henley Regatta 
D              A        D  
Intending to put out to sea 
Bm               A           D  
They pronounced me persona non grata 
D                           A                  D  
Goes show that you can't come and go as you please

Still out here in the wind and rain 
G              D         Em      A    
Look a little older but I feel no pain

And it stands to reason

I'm still looking for love

I'm still looking for love

D                 A        D  
Looking for a needle in a haystack 
D           A        D  
It's pretty hard to find 
Bm          A           D  
Every dog has his day, Jack 
D              A        D  
I'm still waiting for mine

Look a little older but I feel no pain

I'm still looking for love
