London(Cavaco chords)

	        C 
 We came from the far North 
Em 
 summered in Crimea 
C 
 deserted the armed forces 
Em 
 had to disappear 
C 
 made it to the free West 
Em 
 on a chartered flight 
F            Dm  G 
 so we could see what 
 
we trained to fight 
     
           C 
We were in London 
Em             Am              G 
'Let's do it - let's break the law!' 
           F 
We were in London 
Em              Dm   G 
Tell it like it is 
           F 
We were in London 
                Dm   G 
Tell it like it is 
           C 
We were in London 
 
Looking for hard work 
or credit card fraud 
What do you expect from us? 
We come from abroad 
to get ourselves a new job 
on a building-site 
They work you so hard 
but we trained to fight 
 
We were in London 
'Let's do it - let's break the law!' 
We were in London 
Tell it like it is 
We were in London 
'Let's do it - let's break the law!' 
We were in London 
Tell it like it is 
 
Am          Em                Dm 
 My father fought in Afghanistan 
                G                   Am 
 His widow's pension ain't worth a damn 
            Em                     Dm 
 My mother works and goes home to cry 
             G 
 I want to live before I die 
 
We were in London 
'Let's do it - let's break the law!' 
We were in London 
Tell it like it is 
We were in London 
Tell it like it is
