Tried my best to make an acoustic version out of such an atmospheric track
Still a pretty solid song, though.

A D F#m E D
As I walked out one morning fair,
A E
I found myself drawn thoughtlessly
A D F#m E D
Back to the place we used to live,
A E
And you still do, now without me.


D F#m
Around the back, away from the road,
D F#m
Behind the bins, beneath your window,
E A F#m
I found the hulk, the rusting bulk
D A
Of a shattered old piano.


D F#m
Someone had torn out some of the keys
D F#m
With cruel care, not thoughtlessly,
E A F#m
In such a way that one could only play
D A
Minor melodies.


D F#m Bm A E
So I sat down in my sadness, beneath your window,
D F#m Bm A E
And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a broken piano;
D A
A sinner amongst saved men on the banks of the muddy Thames.


A D F#m E D
As I have wandered through this city,
A E
Like a child lost in the London fog,
A D F#m E D
From Highgate Hill, down to the river,
A E
Then washed downstream past the Isle of Dogs,


D F#m
I've had time enough to think upon
D F#m
The question of what kind of songs
E A F#m
That you would choose to listen to
D A
Now that I am gone.

D F#m
And as I drift beneath that bridge,
D F#m
Just down the road from where you live,
E A F#m
I've often thought I might have caught
D A
Your voice upon the wind.


A D F#m E D
But as I stroked those broken keys
A E
You did not join in harmony.


D F#m Bm A E
So I sat down in my sadness, beneath your window,
D F#m Bm A E
And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a broken piano;
D A
A sinner amongst saved men on the banks of the muddy Thames.

A E D
A E D
------on the banks of the muddy Thames.
A E D
------on the banks of the muddy Thames.
A E D
A E D
A E D
