london by night
written by carrol coates
performed by greg laswell ( and more notably frank sinatra )

this is my first tab , really love this song and there weren’t chords for it online
so i figured them out as best as i could . the picking and strumming pattern that
laswell does on this song is excellent so be sure to listen to it first . please
tell if there’s something you think could be changed to sound more like laswell’s
cover of the song .

G C G D7
london by night is a wonderful sight
G Bm Dm
there is magic abroad in the air
C D G Em
i’m often told that the streets turn into gold
C D G
when the moon shines on circus and square

G C G D7
deep in the dark that envelops the park
G Bm Dm Em
there’s romance in each cigarette glow
C D G Em
down by the thames , lights that sparkle like gems
C D G
seem to wink at each girl and her beau

G C G D7
up comes the moon when the city’s asleep
G Bm Dm
he’s not alone , for it seems
C D G Em
somewhere up there stands an angel to keep
C D G
her watch while each londoner dreams

G C G D7
my love and i saw the sun leave the sky
G Bm Dm Em
then we kissed in the fast – fading light
C D G Em
most people say they love london by day
Am D Em
but lovers love london by night
C D G
but lovers love london by night
