  London

     (Morrissey/Marr)

  

  

  Basically, this is a very simple Smiths song (off of -Louder Than Bombs-) but

  highly effective.  What I will mean by the F# riff is just:

  

     F# riff

  

  E ----------------------

  B ----------------------  

  G ----------------------  (this is just the F# note being repeated over

  D ----------------------   and over again, of course)

  A ----------------------

  E -2-2-2--2-2--2-2--2-2-

  

  

  Intro:  Feedback, F# riff

  

  F# riff

  Smoke lingers ~round your fingers

  Train, heave on-to Euston

         B5                    E5                       F# riff

  Do you think you~ve made the right decision this time?

    B5      E5       F# riff

  Aaahhh, aaahh, aaahhh...

  

  F# riff

  Left your tired family grieving

  And you think they~re said because you~re leaving

                         B5                          E5                 F# riff

  But didn~t you see the Jealousy in the eyes of the ones you left behind

             B5                    E5                       F# riff

  And do you think you~ve made the right decision this time?

  

  F# riff

  You left your girlfriend on the platform

  With this really ragged notion that you~ll return

           B5                  E5

  But she knows that when he goes

              F# riff

  He really goes

             B5                    E5                       F# riff

  And do you think you~ve made the right decision this time?

  

  

  The ending riff goes something like this (with minor variations):

  

     F#m       D5  E5    C#m       D5  E5

  

  E ---5---------------|---9---------------||

  B ------7------------|------9------------||

  G -6------6--7-7-9-9-|-9------9--7-7-9-9-||

  D -----------7-7-9-9-|-----------7-7-9-9-||

  A -------------------|-------------------||

  E -------------------|-------------------||

  

  

  and the song fades out (and into PANIC!!)
