[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
[F#m]don't ..............
[F#mmaj7-243222] ... need no
[F#m7]friends,
[B] As long as 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 2]
Terry meets [E] Julie, Waterloo
[B] Station, every [A] Friday night,
But I am so [E] lazy, don't want to
[B] wander, I stay at [A] home at night, ...But I
[F#m]don't ..............
[F#mmaj7-243222] ... feel a
[F#m7]fraid
[B] As long as I
[E] gaze on Waterloo
[B] sunset I am in [A] 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
[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,
[Intro again]

Waterloo sunsets fine - repeat to fade
