Smiths - London guitar tab

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!!)
