The deGmvil moon took me thrBbough the alley
Down by the KarFdomah and the Centrale
To the GmMews running througBbh the backstreets
Where Fthe Blacks sold fire aCnd sleep
The deGmvil moon took me out Bbof Soho
Up to FCamden where the cold north winds blow
Sucked Gmalong by a winter sBbhower
To staFnd beside your shining Ctower
This cBbould be our finCal daFnceBb  F  Bb  
This cBbould be our verCy last chaFnceBb  F  Bb  
Just the soBbund of your voice
WheGmrever I may be changeBbs everything
And then the woCrld's right with me
YouF're my LoBbndon gFirl
The Bbway that you wFalk
YouBb're my london gFirl
The Bbway that you tFalk
YouBb're my london gFirl
Just tBbhe sound of your Cvoice
And I Bbain't got no chFoiceBb  F  Bb  
The light was goinbg out, the moon was dying
The night was turning to a fine Spring morning
The dogs were barking and the kids were shouting
The sun was splashing in a crystal fountain
When the cold winds come to find you
Blowing down from the top of the high rise
I'll come and take you back down to Soho
Away from all those mad men's eyes
This could be our final dance
This could be our very last chance
And if you cut me
Don't you think I feel
Is this body made of clay
Is this heart made of steel
You're my London girl
The way that you walk
You're my London girl
The way that you talk
Just the sound of your voice
I ain't got no choice

This could be our final dance

And if you cut me
Don't you think I feel
Is this body made of clay

You're my London girl
The way that you walk
You're my London girl
The way that you talk
Just the sound of your voice
I ain't got no choice
