What a pretty song!
F Dm
(A) bell strikes, another night
Eb Cm
Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache
F Dm
You've bought some coffee, butter and bread
Eb Cm
You can't make a thing, 'cause the meter's dead
F Ab
You've moved away
F Ab
Told you're folks you're gonna stay away
Eb Ab
Bright lights, Soho, Waldorff Street
F Eb
You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet
Bbm Ab
Somebody shows you 'round.
Db Ab
Now you've met the London Boys
Db
Things seem good again
B E Gb Fm F
Someone cares about you
F Dm
Oh the first time that you try a pill
Eb Cm
You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill
F Dm
You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose face

To let yourself down would be a big disgrace

It's too late now 'cause you're out there boy
