Although the song consists mainly of keyboards, drums and bass guitar, it sounds very well on just an acoustic guitar. These are the chords (and two little riffs) I use: C: x-3-2-0-1-0----------------------------------------------------| Cmaj7: x-3-2-0-0-0------------------------------------------------| Am7: x-0-2-0-1-0 (sometimes during the verse I play: x-0-2-0-1-3)-| Am7/G: 3-0-2-0-1-0------------------------------------------------| F: 1-3-3-2-1-1----------------------------------------------------| Dm: x-x-0-2-3-1---------------------------------------------------| G7: 3-2-0-0-0-1---------------------------------------------------| Am: x-0-2-2-1-0---------------------------------------------------| E: 0-2-2-1-0-0----------------------------------------------------| Am2: x-0-2-2-0-0--------------------------------------------------| X: 0-3-3-2-0-0----------------------------------------------------| (I don't know the name of this chord) riff 1: e-|-----0-| b-|-1-3---| g-|-------| d-|-------| a-|-------| e-|-------| riff 2: e-|---0-4-5-| b-|-1-------| g-|---------| d-|---------| a-|---------| e-|---------| Lyrics and chords: The old covent garden I remember only too well [intro] 4x C (alter with Cmaj7) C Am7 The girl's a fool Am7/G She broke the rule F She hurt him hard Dm G7 C (alter with Cmaj7) This time he will break down C Am7 She's lost his trust Am7/G And so she must F All is lost Dm G7 C Am The system has broke down Dm E Am Romance has broke down (riff 1) F G7 C Am7 This boy is crackin' up Dm E Am2 Am This boy has broke down C Am7 She plays it hard Am7/G F She plays it tough Dm G7 But that's enough C (alter with Cmaj7) For love is over C Am7 Am7/G F She's broke his heart and that is rough Dm G7 C Am But in the end you'll soon recover Dm E Am The romance is over (riff 1) F G7 C Am7 This boy is crackin' up Dm E Am2 Am This boy has broke down (riff 1) F G7 C Am7 This boy is crackin' up Dm E Am2 Am This boy has broke down [Instrumental break with piano-solo] C-Am7-Am7/G-F-Dm-G7-C-C-Am7--|Am7/G-F-Dm-E-Am-F-Dm-E-Am-(riff 1) F-G7-C-Am7-------------------|Dm-E-Am-(riff 2) [tempo slows down a bit] C Am7 I've been spending my money Am7/G F In the old town Dm G7 It's not the same honey C When you're not around C Am7 I've been spending my time Am7/G F In the old town Dm G7 I sure miss you honey C F Now you're not around X E Now you're not around Am2 Am This old town [tempo back to normal] C (alter with Cmaj7) ola 3 x C (alter with Cmaj7) [Instrumental break with trumpet-solo] C-Am7-Am7/G-F-Dm-G7-C ola C-Am7-Am7/G-F-Dm-G7-C-C-E-Am (riff 1) F G7 C Am7 This boy is crackin' up Dm E Am2 Am This boy has broke down (riff 1) F G7 C Am7 This boy is crackin' up Dm E Am2 Am This boy has broke down [Repeat until fade out]
