Chords

       G                Em
With a dark and rolling sea

        G                Em
Between my true love and me

       G                    Em   D    G
I keep walking through this cold hard town

        G               Em
While I wait for better days

        G              Em
I could use a place to stay

     G                   Em     D       G
Or a floor where I could lay my blanket down
Chorus:
C                        G
If I could beg, steal or borrow

  C                      G   D
A ticket on some ship or pla-ane

C                     G
I'd be leaving London tomorrow

   C         D        G
To fly to my own love again

      G                 Em
Up at dawn to change my shirt

       G             Em
And to wash away the dirt

          G        Em  D    G
Then it's over to American Express

        G           Em
Not one letter did I find

        G               Em
No, she didn't send one line

         G               Em    D      G
Though I know she has my forwarding address
Chorus:
C                        G
If I could beg, steal or borrow

  C                      G   D
A ticket on some ship or pla-ane

C                     G
I'd be leaving London tomorrow

   C         D        G
To fly to my own love again

     G         Em
Last night The Troubadour

       G                     Em
Was so full, they barred the door

      G               Em    D     G
And I sang a song she knows quite well

       G                 Em
But it wouldn't take too long

        G          Em
To make up another song

      G              Em   D   G
For a lonesome and a last farewell
Chorus:
C                        G
If I could beg, steal or borrow

  C                      G   D
A ticket on some ship or pla-ane

C                     G
I'd be leaving London tomorrow

   C         D        G
To fly to my own love again

C                     G
I'd be leaving London tomorrow

C            D        G      
To fly to my own love again
