   D 
Oh Gillian she's a Doncaster lass 
D 
Trains it down on the quarter past, 
Em                      F#m 
Friday night leaves the kids at home, 
    G                       A 
And struts her stuff on the Euston Road. 
        Bm                       D 
Saying 'Do you want some company darling? 
Bm                        D 
Do you want some company now? 
Bm	                D 
My place, your place or no place... 
        G                     A 
I could use the extra cash anyhow' 
 
D A D A That's the sights and sounds of London Town D A D A The sights and sounds of London Town Bm Bm/A G A D The sights and sounds of Lon--don Town
D G/D D G/D X4 D Oh Jean-Paul he came over from Toulouse, D They told him that London was the golden goose. Em F#m He never got his hands on enough to eat, G A He never did get his arse up off the street. D Wanted to be a rap DJ, D They took his pulse then they turned him away. Em F#m Under the radar of your fellow man, G A With all that charisma it ain't worth a damn. Bm D Saying 'Lend me your shoes till Monday... Bm D Oh brother can you lend me a comb? Bm D I can wash dishes all night long, G A I just need my fare back home'
D A D A That's the sights and sounds of London Town D A D A The sights and sounds of London Town Bm Bm/a. G A D The sights and sounds of London Town
D G/D D G/D x4 D Well Jackie she tried just about everything. D She tried to dance, she tried to sing. Em F#m Too many doors slammed in your face, G A It leaves a nasty aftertaste. D You scramble around for a little bit of cash, D Ease the pain with Mister Flash. Em F#m Saint Anne's Court is the rendezvous, G A For those who share your point of view. Bm D Saying 'This is the last time you will see me Bm D Never again no way! Bm D One more time I'll never ask you again. G A I've just got to get through today'
D A D A That's the sights and sounds of London Town D A D A The sights and sounds of London Town, Bm Bm/A G A D The sights and sounds of London Town
D G/D D G/D x4 D Oh Mickey he sleeps every two or three days, D Runs through Soho like a rat through a maze. Em F#m A little blackmail here a sting on the side, G A Enough to get started on the next enterprise. D Dresses expensive but that's just a crutch, D Like his word or his handshake it doesn't mean much, Em F#m Depends on his kickback from the middle man, G A And whatever he can beat out of Sally Ann. Bm D Saying 'Lucky I'm the one you ran into, Bm D Oh lucky I've taken a shine! Bm D Lucky I'm needing a partner... G A 50/50 right down the line'
D A D A Oh that's the sights and sounds of London Town, D A D A The sights and sounds of London Town, Bm Bm/A G A D The sight and sounds of London Town.
D G/D D G/D
