Elvis Costello – Londons Brilliant (Guitar)

  D              C       G         A
I didn't want to be some satellite clown

     G          A               G                  A
So I went up to London 'cuase I heard it's falling down

          D         C         G      A
Found the Denis the Menace of Little Venice

       G             A         G           A
Still digging up the bones of Strummer and Jones

    Bm
Revolutionary day were sadly over

      D
And a cool profile down Ladbroke Grove

      G          A
Won't make it no more

          G            A
You could wake up in a doorway

D        G         D         A
London's brilliant when it's raining

D           G       A
Everybody's moaning and complaining

D        A      G     D
London's dismal and divine

      G                 A
And I know one day, one day

Bm
Mine eyes have seen the gory

D
Faces of those bitter men

          G     A
And their bawdy talk

    D
And that's not all

Bm                            D
Every night before I close my eyes

                         G
I'd say a prayer to my desires

G
Hung up on the poster on the wall

G
Don't let me grow up to fail and fall

               A
If I must grow up at all

         D         C             G                  A
Well the night got chilly and he swore he'd love me silly

       G                A            G            A
But he couldn't raise a spark in the dark in Hyde Park

       D          C        G                 A
With a bite and a bark, he tried to make his mark

         G           A         G            A
Now he's selling his willy somewhere in Picadilly

Bm
I could be a little Madam in Mayfair

        D
But I'd rather wake up in a doorway somewhere

     G           A
`Cos in the long run

              G      A
I'll probably be someone

D        G         D         A
London's brilliant when it's raining

D           G       A
Everybody's moaning and complaining

D        A      G     D
London's dismal and divine

      G                 A
And I know one day, one day

G            A
one day, one day, one date

G            A
one day, one day, one day

A#                  G
London's brilliant
