London Rie fu
I've been sad over the lack of love on the interwebs and UG for this beautiful song.
chords are based on the live version, lyrics from the album version.
it's not perfect, but close enough to fudge it. hopefully somebody can improve on it eventually.

Capo 2
[G]The air was dry in London, I was [C]on the bus to Holborn
[G]The orange light upon the eye was [C]getting in my way
[G]Everybody's saying [C]What (are) you going to do afterwards?
G C~ ~G C
What (are) you going to do after you graduate?
[G]The air was dry in London,
I was [C]watching the cars and the taxis that go by
[G]The orange light upon the eye was [C]getting in my way
[G]Everybody's running [C]Everybody's standing still
G C ~G D
Everybody's waiting for you
[C]Get on the westbound, change at [D]Baker Street station,
[C]Buskers keep on playing the [G]day[D]
[C]The smell of beers and bottles, [D]roses and regattas,
[C]Doves and newspapers fly [G]awa[D]y
[C]And We'll be walking down the river,
[D]pretty houses down the stream
[C]Look down at the pavement, and it's [D]looking back at me
[C]Time goes by so slowly, no long [D]distance calls to blame
C D~ G
Yes, you have made my day!

[G]The air was dry in London, I was [C]on the bus to Old Street
[G]The orange light upon the eye was [C]getting in my way
[G]Everybody's running [C]Everybody's speeding up
G C~G (D)
But I'm right here waiting for you
[C]Get on the southbound, change at [D]Waterloo station,
[C]Men in suits are playing the [G]day[D]
[C]The smell of cigarettes on the [D]tip of my hair
[C]Doves and newspapers fly [G]awa[D]y
[C]And We'll be walking down the river,
[D]pretty houses down the stream
[C]Look down at the pavement, and it's [D]looking back at me
[C]Time goes by so slowly, no long [D]distance calls to blame
C D~ G
Yes, you have made my day!
[C]Get on the rapid train, I'm [D]running late again
[C]Men in suits are playing the [G]day[D]
[C]The smell of beers and bottles, [D]roses and regattas,
[C]Doves and newspapers fly [G]awa[D]y
[C]And we'll be laughing as we walk on,
[D]making plans upon our dreams
[C]The wishes come together as we [D]pave our roads so free
[C]Time goes by so slowly, no long [D]distance calls to blame
[C]Yes, you have made my [D]day[G]!
