[Verse 1]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
As I walked out one morning fair,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
I found myself drawn thoughtlessly
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Back to the place we used to live,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
And you still do, now without me.
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
[Verse 2]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Around the back, away from the road,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Behind the bins, beneath your window,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
I found the hulk, the rusting bulk
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Of a shattered old piano.
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Someone had torn out some of the keys
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
With cruel care, not thoughtlessly,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
In such a way that one could only play
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Minor melodies.
[Chorus]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|------------------0-------------------------------------------------| E|-2---------------------------------2----------------2---------------|
So I sat down in my sadness,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-5----------------4-------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------0---------------0----------------|
beneath your window,
e|----------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|----------------------------------| E|-0----------------0---------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|------------------0-------------------------------------------------| E|-2---------------------------------2----------------2---------------|
And I played sad songs, on the minor keys
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-5----------------4-------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------0---------------0----------------|
of a broken piano
e|----------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|----------------------------------| E|-0----------------0---------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-2---------------2-----------------2---------------2----------------|
A sinner amongst saved men
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-----------------------------------0----------------0---------------| E|-2---------------2--------------------------------------------------|
on the banks of the muddy Thames.
e|----------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0---------------| E|----------------------------------|
[Verse 1]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
As I have wandered through this city,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Like a child lost in the London fog,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
From Highgate Hill, down to the river,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then washed downstream past the Isle of Dogs,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
[Verse 2]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
I've had time enough to think upon
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
The question of what kind of songs
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
That you would choose to listen to
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Now that I am gone.
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
And as I drift beneath that bridge,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Just down the road from where you live,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
I've often thought I might have caught
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Your voice upon the wind.
[Bridge]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
But as I stroked those broken keys
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
You did not join in harmony.
[Chorus]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|------------------0-------------------------------------------------| E|-2---------------------------------2----------------2---------------|
So I sat down in my sadness,
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-5----------------4-------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------0---------------0----------------|
beneath your window,
e|----------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|----------------------------------| E|-0----------------0---------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|------------------0-------------------------------------------------| E|-2---------------------------------2----------------2---------------|
And I played sad songs, on the minor keys
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-5----------------4-------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------0---------------0----------------|
of a broken piano
e|----------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|----------------------------------| E|-0----------------0---------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-2---------------2-----------------2---------------2----------------|
A sinner amongst saved men
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-----------------------------------0----------------0---------------| E|-2---------------2--------------------------------------------------|
on the banks of the muddy Thames.
e|----------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0---------------| E|----------------------------------|
[Outro - Repeats with improv. guitar played over]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------0----------------0----------------0----------------0-------| G|-----2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2------2-----2---2-| D|---4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4------4---4-----4---| A|-0----------------0----------------0----------------0---------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
