VERSE 1
D Dmaj7
Oh London in the Spring
D7 D7 G
Makes me feel so lucky I'm alive
G/F#
I've got love to give
Em A7
I've got my whole life to live
D Dmaj7
Walkin' through the park
D7 D7 G
Sunshine pours like honey through the trees
G/F# Em A7
I believe I'm comin' home
CHORUS 1
Em* EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
G6 Em6
I've better things to do
D*
And more productive ways
C G C/G G
That I could spend my time
Em* EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
G6 Em6
It often seems to me we
D* C G C/G G
Spend our lives talking foolish, running blind
Em7 Em7 A7 A7sus2 A7
And we forget how to enjoy the simple things
Em A7 Dsus2
Like walking through London in the Spring

VERSE 2
D Dmaj7
Whoa, London in the Spring
D7 D7
See St. Paul's Cathedral like
G G/F#
(A) man of high society
Em A7
Calmly sittin' quietly
D Dmaj7
And you watch the river Thames
D7 D7
Weaving like a needle through the town
G G/F# Em A7
All the way down to the sea
CHORUS 2
Em* EmMaj7
Well some people tell me
G6 Em6
The best is far behind us
D* C G C/G G
It's hopeless to be hopeful, anymore
Em* EmMaj7
But I'm not sure I agree
G6 Em6
I am hoping love will find us
D* C G C/G G
And gently guide our vessel to the shore
Em7 Em7 A7 A7sus2 A7
Where there'll be no need for beggers or kings
Em A7 Dsus2
All equal to share London in the Spring
