London Song Chords

 

Well, everyone, here are some more beginner guitar chords for you!  For a few words about the chords and the fret I chose to place my capo on, refer back to my post Jonny Diaz Song Chords.  Again, I picked this song out by ear so there may be some imperfections.  Also if there’s a song you’d like beginner guitar chords for but either you can’t pick it out yourself or you can’t find accurate chords for it elsewhere online, leave a request in a comment box, and if I’m familiar with the song, I’ll see what I can do for you. 

 

London

By Brandon Heath

 Capo: 7

 Verse 1:

 

 G                                   C

My train pulled into Waterloo

    Em                   D

I found myself wishin’ you

          Am           C

Were here with me

         D

In London

 

     G                    C

Standin’ on the river Thames

                  Em                    D

Takin’ photographs of Parliament

        Am         C

And old Big Ben

           D

Was ringin’

 

Pre-chorus:

  

                             Em              C               D

You know it’s everything that I imagined it would be

        Am              D                           C

I had no idea that it would feel so empty

 

Chorus 1:

 

                   G      C

Where are you tonight

          D                        Em

While I stand here and cry

                  Am                   G                 D

Watchin’ double-decker buses pass me by

             G                Em

And to tell you the truth

     Am                Em

It’s all that I can do

                           C                 D                             C

To keep from jumpin’ on a plane that’s headed home

       G          C

To you

 

Verse 2:

 

G                                  C

I took a stroll down Abbey Road

               Em                      D

Tried to peek inside the studios

              Am                         C

And somewhere along the way

                         D

I bought you flowers

 

               G                                C

And a pocket map of the Underground

                        Em                            D

’Cause you and I both know I get turned around

         Am     C              D

I’d be so lost without you

 

(Pre-chorus)

 

Chorus 2:

 

                   G      C

Where are you tonight

          D                        Em

While I stand here and cry

                  Am                   G                 D

Watchin’ double-decker buses pass me by

             G                Em

And to tell you the truth

     Am                Em

It’s all that I can do

                           C                 D                             C

To keep from jumpin’ on a plane that’s headed home

 

Bridge:

 

Am                            Em

Six long nights and seven days

         D                         Em

I’ll cross the pond back to the States

C  D      C

I can’t wait

 

Chorus 3:

 

                   G      C

Where are you tonight

          D                        Em

While I stand here and cry

               Am                      G                     D

Watchin’ all the black umbrellas pass me by

             G                Em

And to tell you the truth

     Am                Em

It’s all that I can do

                           C                 D                             C

To keep from jumpin’ on a plane that’s headed home

                 C                 D                   C

So I’m jumpin’ on a plane headed home

       G         

To you
