London Boys

F                Dm
Bow bells strike, another night
     Eb                      Cm
Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache

You've bought some coffee, butter and bread
    Eb                            Cm
You can't make a thing, 'cause the meter's dead
       F             Ab
You've moved away
          F                       Ab
Told your folks you're gonna stay away
Eb                   Ab
Bright lights, Soho, Wardour Street
    F                              Eb
You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet

Oh the first time that you try a pill

You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill
       F                      Dm
You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose face
   Eb                           Cm
To let yourself down would be a big disgrace

         F             Ab

       Eb                      Ab
You're only seventeen, but you think you've grown
       F                                Eb
In the month you've been away from your parents' home

    Bbm                Ab
You take the pills too much
    Db                          Ab
You don't give a damn about the job you've got
   Db                      B  E   Gb    Fm   F

A London Boy, oh a London Boy

Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy
