Smiths - London guitar chord

Date: Mon, 6 Nov 95 17:32:45 EST

From: Winston Campbell

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!!)
