C          D       
Little lady with Dingwalls bullshit 
G                    F 
Ah, you're so stupid, Foetid brainwaves 
C           D 
Little lady, what really happens 
G                    F 
When you see mirrors, you get the shivers

  Ahhhh...    (keyboards)    (bass)     (drums) 


C             D 
Making love to the Mersey tunnel 
G                        F 
With a sausage, have you ever been to Liverpool? 
C                      D 
Please don't talk much, it burns my ears

C           D 
London lady, why did you lay me? 
G                             F 
Your head is crowded with the names you've hounded 
C                    D 
The lines around your eyes they show me 
G               F                         G                      Bb F 
You realise the party's over London Lady, party's over London Lady 
G                                  Bb        F    G Bb F 
Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about 
G                                  Bb        F 
Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about 


G Bb F (x7) 

note: Hugh plays a kind of 'anti solo' here, where he just attacks his guitar and plays randomly, 
unfortunately, it's really low in the mix so more time is needed to decipher it :) 

end on F. 





  
                         G#m   D       E C#m B 
Your skies were blue, goodbye Toulouse 
  E 
I walked your streets in fear 
                           G#m     D       E C#m B (riff) 
I washed your streets with tears, Toulouse 
F#m G#m A   B    E 
Goodbye Toulouse 

     E 
Your cafes tell the tales 
                  G#m      D       E C#m B 
Of saddened millionaires, Toulouse 
  E                  
A million dreams I've had 
                    G#m    D       E C#m B (riff) 
A million lies I've told, Toulouse 
F#m G#m  A  B     
Goodbye Toulouse

Paula leaned down to me

From her high balcony, Toulouse

I will return someday

So you can hear me say farewell
