[Verse 1]
[D]I get weary and sick of tryin'
[F#]I'm tired of l[D]ivin' and afraid of dyin'

[G]London[D][G]

I get weary and sick of trying
[G]I'm[D] of living.
[C#]And I'm [C#m]so sca[Bm]red of dying.[G]
But [A]old man River[Asus4],

[A]alo[Asus4]ng. yeah.[D][G][D]
Now I [F#]don't, you and me.

Our bodies [C#]only
Get [F#m]wrecked

[C#]And I tell h[F#m]er I'm[Bm] bitter for her
[E]you know [Em]how y[D]ou get sick of swearing
and sick of trying?
Don't you know you're tired of liv[A]ing
and you're [C]afraid of dy[G]ing?
[Bm]But old man River,
[G]he'll just keep rol[Asus4]ling alon[D]g
[G]Alone, [D]alone, [G]alone, [D]alone, alone
[G]In our hou[A]se there are four cha[D]irs
Lots of knives and forks, [D]here y 'all look
Me dad sits here
[C#m]Mother sits there
Me sister sits here
Me brother sits here
Me sister sits here
Me brother sits here
My uncle sits here,
Uncle Arthur sits here,
Brian sits here,
Neville sits here,
Doris sits here
showing all her knickers
when she comes [C#m]round to see me, like this. Anyway,
there are ladies who show their knickers,
big sort [C#m]of pink blue, sometimes blue,
down by the sea at Eastbourne.
