This Is London

N.C. Em The traffic has gone quiet G D D6 Just the finger-tip drumming D Em Of the last train on the hill G D D6 Now only I can hear it coming D Em And the moon is way up high G Bm F#m Bm Like a giant map-maker Bm Em She paints the windows of our house G D With a yellow highlighter D A And a voice says This Is London D G And I wait and count the beats D A And the night fills up the valley D G And the cleaners clean the streets D A And the words bounce off the satellites D G And they fall back down to earth D A Across miles and miles of ocean Bm G D D6 To the city of my birth N.C. Em And the inattentive drivers G D D6 And the black ice on the bridges D Em And the friends who break their promises G D D6 And the comfortless strangers Em I can see them all a-circling G Bm F#m Bm Out there in the future Em But tonight they can't hurt you G D D6 Tonight they don't matter D A And a voice says This Is London D G And I wait and count the beats D A And the night fills up the valley D G And the cleaners clean the streets D A And the words bounce off the satellites D G And they fall back down to earth D A Across miles and miles of ocean Bm G D D6 D Em G D Em G D D6 To the city of my birth N.C. Em I know you are asleep now G Bm F#m Bm You've gone heavy on my shoulder Em I carry you to your bed G D D6 Like a boat across the water D A And a voice says This Is London D G And I wait and count the beats D A And the night fills up the valley D G And the cleaners clean the streets D A And the words bounce off the satellites D G And they fall back down to earth D A Across miles and miles of ocean Bm G To the city of my birth Chorus 4 D G And a vo-ic-e says This is London D And the words bounce off G D And the words bounce off the satellites D Bm G And they fall back down to earth
