verse 1 
 
      G                Em 
I was clearing out the attic  
       C                   D 
When I found this battered case  
         B7                    Em 
With its handle broke and that old word ?folk?  
      A7                D 
Still stencilled on its face  
         B7                 Em 
Now it's cobwebbed and it's dusty  
       A7              D 
But it takes me to the past  
           G              Em 
And it was Nineteen-sixty-nine  
         C                D 
I opened this guitar case last  

C G When they said try your luck in London C G/B D That's where the rainbow ends C G But I got lost in lonely London D Em With so many friends C G I got lost in lonely London D7 G Em C D Where the rainbow ends
verse 2 G Em You should have seen the big man, Alex C D When he sang us up a storm B7 Em He had heart and soul, and he set the goal A7 D If you wanted to perform B7 Em So, I bought myself a Gibson A7 D Just the same as Alex had G Em And I practised night and day C D Until I drove my parents mad
C G And they said try your luck in London C G/B D That's where the rainbow ends C G But I got lost in lonely London D Em With so many friends C G I got lost in lonely London D7 G Where the rainbow ends
BRIDGE Em I knew every Seeger ballad D I knew every Campbell song Em And I sang them right, every day and night A7 D Till I'd been on that road too long Em 'Cause there were others out there working D Singing Choruses galore Am But there was only one called Alex D7 G D/F# We were all just one clone more verse 3 G Em So I climbed up to the attic C D With this bent and battered case B7 Em Its handle broke, that old word ?folk? A7 D Still stenciled on its face B7 Em Now it's been for too long silent A7 D With its memories of the past G Em So it's time it went to someone C D Who could make it sing at last
C G So, try your luck in London C G/B D That's where the rainbow ends C G But don't got lost in lonely London D Em With so many friends C G Don't got lost in lonely London D7 G Where the rainbow ends C G Try your luck in London C G/B D That's where the rainbow ends C G But don't got lost in lonely London D Em With so many friends C G Don't got lost in lonely London D7 C Where the rainbow ends D7 G C G Where the rainbow ends
