Intro: D G/d D G/d X4

D
Oh Gillian she's a Doncaster lass
D
Trains it down on the quarter past,
Em F#m
Friday night leaves the kids at home,
G A
And struts her stuff on the Euston Road.
Bm D
Saying "Do you want some company darling?
Bm D
Do you want some company now?
Bm D
My place, your place or no place...
G A
I could use the extra cash anyhow"

[CHORUS}
D A D A
That's the sights and sounds of London Town
D A D A
The sights and sounds of London Town
Bm Bm/a G A D
The sights and sounds of Lon--don Town

D G/d D G/d X4

D
Oh Jean-Paul he came over from Toulouse,
D
They told him that London was the golden goose.
Em F#m
He never got his hands on enough to eat,
G A
He never did get his arse up off the street.

D
Wanted to be a rap DJ,
D
They took his pulse then they turned him away.
Em F#m
Under the radar of your fellow man,
G A
With all that charisma it ain't worth a damn.
Bm D
Saying "Lend me your shoes till Monday...
Bm D
Oh brother can you lend me a comb?
Bm D
I can wash dishes all night long,
G A
I just need my fare back home"

[CHORUS]
D A D A
That's the sights and sounds of London Town

D G/d D G/d X4

D
Well Jackie she tried just about everything.
D
She tried to dance, she tried to sing.
Em F#m
Too many doors slammed in your face,
G A
It leaves a nasty aftertaste.

D
You scramble around for a little bit of cash,
D
Ease the pain with Mister Flash.
Em F#m
Saint Anne's Court is the rendezvous,
G A
For those who share your point of view.
Bm D
Saying "This is the last time you will see me
Bm D
Never again no way!
Bm D
One more time I'll never ask you again.
G A
I've just got to get through today"

[CHORUS]

That's the sights and sounds of London Town

The sights and sounds of London Town,
Bm Bm/a G A D
The sights and sounds of London Town

D G/d D G/d X4

D
Oh Mickey he sleeps every two or three days,
D
Runs through Soho like a rat through a maze.
Em F#m
A little blackmail here a sting on the side,
G A
Enough to get started on the next enterprise.

D
Dresses expensive but that's just a crutch,
D
Like his word or his handshake it doesn't mean much,
Em F#m
Depends on his kickback from the middle man,
G A
And whatever he can beat out of Sally Ann.
Bm D
Saying "Lucky I'm the one you ran into,
Bm D
Oh lucky I've taken a shine!
Bm D
Lucky I'm needing a partner...
G A
50/50 right down the line"

[CHORUS]
D A D A
Oh that's the sights and sounds of London Town,
D A D A
The sights and sounds of London Town,
Bm Bm/a G A D
The sight and sounds of London Town.
