[tab]C                           F           C
Here's one more sermon I'll sing to the choir

C                            F          C
This town would be better if it were on fire

C                                   F            C
From the Lancaster Gate down to the Ann Boleyn's grave

C                                 F          C
Use the tabloids for kindling set this town ablaze

C                                   F             C
And the cabbies would curse and the honkers would cry

C                                   F             C
And the rest would just grumble til their turn to die

C                                       F            C
And the fish and chips vendors would be fuel for the fire

C                                F          C
And I'd watch the sun set on the British Empire

F
And the London I know is a half a stones throw

C
From the cruel world around me and the cold world below

F
And the London I know is no better than I

C              G              F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye

C              G              F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye

C                                   F             C
And the bobbies would curse and the cabbies would crash

C                                   F              C
And the rest would just grumble til they turned to ash

C                                    F             C
And the fish and chips vendors would run for their lives

C                           F              C
Tea time would come and the cups would run dry

F
And the London I know is a half a stones throw

C
From the cruel world around me and the cold world below

F
And the London I know is no better than I

C              G              F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye

C              G              F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye
