INTRODUCTION:
C Em
I'm leaning on a lamp
Am G7
I know I look just like a tramp
C Am F G7 C F F G7
Or you may think I'm hanging round to steal a car
C Em
But no, I'm not a crook
Am Em
And if you think that's what I look
C Am D7 G G7
I'll tell you why I'm here and what my motives are
(Tempo change)
VERSE 1:
C Em Am Em
I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
G G7 C
In case a certain little lady comes by
G7 C
Oh me, oh my
G D7 G G7
I hope the little lady comes by
VERSE 2:
C Em
I don't know if she'll get away
Am Em
She doesn't always get away
G G7 C
But anyhow I know that she'll try
G7 C
Oh me, oh my
G D7 G
I hope the little lady comes by
BRIDGE:
G F G7
There's no other girl I would wait for
C Em Am
But this one I'd break any date for
D7 D7 D
I won't have to ask what she's late for
G Fmin7 G7
She wouldn't leave you flat she's not a girl like that
VERSE 3:
C Em
Oh, she's absolutely beautiful
Am Em
And marvellous and wonderful
G G7 C
And anyone can understand why
Fmin7 F D7 Fmin7
I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
C G7 C
In case a certain little lady passes by
REPEAT ONCE FROM VERSE 1.
