Fm/A 
As I walked out one morning fair 
I found myself drawn thoughtlessly 
Back to the place we used to live 
And you still do, now without me 

Around the back, away from the road 
Behind the bins, beneath your window 
I found the hulk, a rusting bulk 
Of a shattered old piano 
Someone had torn out some of the keys 
With cruel care, not thoughtlessly 
In such a way that one could only play 
Minor melodies 

 
D5 Fm/A Fm Asus2 Bm7 E7 So I sat down in my sadness, beneath your window D5 Fm Asus2 Bm7 E7 And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a broken piano D5 A sinner amongst saved men, on the banks of the muddy Thames
Fm/A As I have wandered through this city Like a child lost in the London fog From Highgate Hill, down to the river Then washed downstream past the Isle of Dogs Had time enough to think upon The question of what kind of songs That you would choose to listen to Now that I am gone And as I float beneath that bridge Just down the road from where you live I've often thought I might have caught Your voice upon the wind (stop) But as I stroked those broken keys You did not join in harmony
Dsus2 Fm Asus2 Bm7 E7 So I sat down in my sadness, beneath your window Dsus2 Fm Asus2 Bm7 E7 And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a broken piano Dsus2 A sinner amongst saved men, on the banks of the muddy Thames
Dm E7 D Dm E7 D On the banks of the muddy Thames Dm E7 D Dm E7 D On the banks of the muddy Thames Dm E7 D (quickly descending) F D# Dm Fm/A
