[Verse 1] Dirty old [E] river, must you keep [B] rolling, rolling in [A] to the night, People so [E] busy, makes me feel [B] dizzy, taxi lights [A] shine so bright, .. But I

[E] gaze on Waterloo [B] sunset I am in [A] (*Move to play A barred at 5th fret to get ready for descending line) paradise, ( *[A] sha [G#m] la [F#m] la) [F#7] Every day I look at the world from my [B] window, ( *[A] sha [G#m] la [F#m] la) [F#7] But chilly, chilly is the evening time,
(drums stop - just bass drum) [B] Waterloo sun [B/A-x0444x] set's fine, [B/G#-4x444] Waterloo sun [Bsus4/F#-22445] set's [B-799877] fi... [B-799877] i..... [B7] ine),

[Verse 3] Millions of [E] people swarming like [B] flies 'round Waterloo [A] underground, But Terry and [E] Julie cross over the [B] river where they feel [A] safe and sound, And they
