	   Am		G	   C	      F 
	We arrived in December and London was cold 
	      C		    G 
	So we stayed in the bars 
	      C		    G 
	Along Charing Cross Road 
	   Am	     G		 C		F 
	We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak 
		 C	      G 
	Kept the shine on the bar 
		 C		G 
	With the sleeves of our coats

	       G	  C 
	I need home for a rest ... 


   Euston Station the train journey north 
   In the buffet car we lurched back and forth 
   Past odd crooked dykes 
   Through Yorkshire's green fields 
   We were flung into dance 
   As the train jigged and reeled 

  Chorus 

   By the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets 
   A rare old perfume so seductive and sweet 
   She'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down 
   Then walk us on home and deny us a round 

  Chorus 

   The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb 
   And the spirits we drank like a ghost in the room 
   I'm knackered again, come on please take me soon 
   And don't lift up my head 
   'till the twelve bells at noon 

  Chorus
