Pet Shop Boys - London Tabs

C                            Em
  We came from the far north, summered in Crimea
C                           Em  
  Deserted the armed forces, had to disappear
C                         Em
  Made it to the free West on a charted flight
F             Dm      G 
  So we could see what we trained to fight

           C      Em/B          Am                G       
We were in London, let’s do it - let’s break the law
            F      Em              Dm  G
We were in London, tell it like it is
            F      Em              Dm G
We were in London, tell it like it is
            C
We were in London

Looking for hard work or credit card fraud
What did you expect from us? We came from abroad 
To get ourselves a new job on a building site
They work you so hard but we trained to fight

We were in London, let’s do it - let’s break the law
We were in London, tell it like it is 
We were in London, let’s do it - let’s break the law
We were in London, tell it like it is

Am           Em/B            Dm
  My father fought in Afghanistan 
              G                    Am  
His widow’s pension ain’t worth a ***
          Em/B                    Dm
My mother works and goes home to cry
           G
I want to live before I die

We were in London, let’s do it - let’s break the law
We were in London, tell it like it is 
We were in London, let’s do it - let’s break the law
We were in London, tell it like it is
