[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Daisy and
Teddy had [A]two Cockney boys
And [G]two Cockney sisters and
they [D]all shared their toys
[A]With old[D] Rosie Rooke and Peg[A]gy O'Day
They [G]all lived together down
in [D]Lavender Lane

[Verse 2]
[D]Lavender Lane, oh my [A]Lavender Lane
The [G]people were poor and
[D]the people were plain
They didn't have much but
[A]they shared what they gained
Con[G]tented to drift along [D]Lavender Lane

[Verse 3]
[Em]Oh L[B]ord, such a [D]pity that
the world's got[A]ta change

[Verse 4]
[D]All of the houses were [A]old and decayed
The [G]people were proud who
lived in [D]Lavender Lane
Oh Lord, Lav[A]ender [G]Lane[D]
Oh Lord, [A]Lavender [G]Lane
[D]

[Verse 5]
[A]Sometimes I wanna get[E] back home
and do [A]the things [E]we did be[A]fore
[E]And break down the old[B] school tie,
and [A]all the la- di- do- dahs

[Verse 6]
[D]The knobs and the toffs sent
down [A]two la- di- dahs
[G]To mix with the people and
[D]to drink in their bars
They looked down their noses and
they [A]puffed their cigars
Instead [G]of 'off' they say 'orf', instead
[D]of 'yeah' they say 'ya'

[Verse 7]
And [Em]oh L[B]ord
And [D]Ted and Daisy said,
'what [A]a shame'

[Verse 8]
They'll [D]knock all the houses down
for fin[A]ancial gain
[G]And send all the people
to [D]a new town estate
Oh Lord, they [A]gutted Lavender [G]Lane[D]
Whoa- oh, [A]they gutted [G]Lavender Lane
[D]

[Verse 9]
[A]Sometimes I wanna get[E] back home
and do [A]the things [E]we did be[A]fore
[E]And break down the old[B] school tie,
and [A]all the la- di- do- dahs

[Verse 10]
In the [D]great London Council
a de[A]cision was made
By [G]the bright civil servants and
[D]the people in grey
They sent all their navvies with
[A]their buckets and spades
[G]To knock all the houses
down in [D]Lavender Lane

[Verse 11]
But [Em]worst of [B]all,
they've [D]taken all the people [A]away
[D]Now only memories are [A]all that remain
Of [G]all of the people down in [D]Lavender Lane
Oh Lord, [A]they gutted [G]Lavender [D]Lane
Whoa- oh,
[A]they gutted Lavender [G]Lane[D]
Whoa- oh, they [A]gutted
Lavender [G]Lane[D][D]
Whoa- oh, they gutted [A]Lavender Lane
[G]
