My Name Is London Town

D Bm D A D Bm I’ve been struck by the wind coming in from the east D A That strips the grey river and stretches your skin D Bm I’ve been choked by the engine and choked by the beast A G A Breathing fire and pollution and pleasure and sin D Bm I’m the cry of the gulls from St Katherine’s Dock D A I’m the cry of the Smithfield fishmonger at dawn D Bm I’m the sharp suited broker who steals like a fox A G A To the stock exchange floor to sell coffee and corn G D G D A My name is London Town G Bm G A I’m your vision going up I’m your nightmare coming down G Bm A Gmaj7 I’m the Westminster fool, I’m the Pentonville clown D A D My name is London Town D Bm I’m the bundle of rags in the Oxford Street doorway D A Matted and ratted and shivering with cold D Bm I’m the homecoming sunset that lights up the Westway A G A I’m the Union flag I’m the red green and gold D Bm I’m the dome of St Pauls I’m the Regents Park mosque D A I’m the Temple the Arsenal and White Hart Lane D Bm I’m the bomb in Victoria the fire at Kings Cross A G A I’m the nine o’clock dole queue and the ten o’clock train G D G D A My name is London Town G Bm G A I’m your vision going up I’m your nightmare coming down G Bm A Gmaj7 I’m the Westminster fool, I’m the Pentonville clown D A D My name is London Town D Bm I’m the immigrant town, I'm the city of night D A Of carousel dreams of beauty and pain D Bm My streets paved with gold from the bold highway meters A G A Dick Whittington’s ghost in a no turning lane G D G D A My name is London Town G Bm G A I’m your vision going up I’m your nightmare coming down G Bm A G Gmaj7 I’m the Whitechapel murderer making his rounds D A Bm Bm/A G My name is London Town D A D My name is London Town
