[Verse]
 
Am
I'm walking in the streets of Battersea
G
In search of happiness
Am
But all I find is misery
G
In this London borough mess
 
D
My very best friend deserted me
 C     B           Am
For someone else today
F
She met a small-time insurance broker
            G
And they'll be married by next May
 
Am
We had some rows and we had some scenes
G
But a couple of laughs as well
Am
And everything seemed just like it should
G
That's what I thought myself
 
D
But now I see how wrong I was
C       B            Am
And crying won't make it better
F
'Cos life's got nothing left for me
          G
Since the day I cried forever
 
[Chorus]
 
Am   G   D
This is London
Am   G   D
Your own London
 
[Verse]
 
Am
I stumble into a café
G
In search of a little chat
Am
The conversation, tea and scones
G
But nothing came of that
 
 
D
'Cause now I'm stuffed to talk to anyone no more
C      B         Am
In case you're one of them
F
You're the motion from another world,
G
And they're the real men
 
 
Am
The Leicester Square and Soho lights
G
Confuse my confused thoughts
Am
I'm stopped and asked for directions
G
By an American tourist in shorts
 
D
I've had enough, I can't take any more
C        B        Am
I'll go round to her flat,
F
And tell her there's nothing left for me
G
Since the day I cried forever
 
[Chorus]
 
Am    G   D
This is London
Am    G   D
Your own London
 
[Chorus]
 
Am    G    D
This is London
Am    G    D
Your own London
 
Am    G    D
This is London
Am    G    D
Your own London
 
Am    G    D
This is London
Am    G    D
Your own London
