[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,

[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
[F#m]don't .............. [F#mmaj7-243222] ... need no [F#m7]friends, [B] As long as they
[E] gaze on Waterloo [B] sunset they are in [A] paradise,
