[Intro]
F Am F Gm Dm Cm F
Am Em A F Dm Bb C F
[Chorus]
F
I thought the streets were paved with gold
Am
I always thought my fortune flowed
Bb
All along the River Thames
C
From Westminster to Southend
F
Into the sea
F
I thought I'd find it at the heart
Am
Of every garden and Royal Park
Bb
Where money grows on trees
C F
Beneath the moon that's made of cheese
[Verse 1]
F
But the ground beneath my feet
F
Was just tarmac and concrete
F Bb
The road sticking to my Converse
Bb
As it melted in the heat
C
Of a muggy Monday morning
C
Through the smog of global warming
F
The sun would not be blocked
F
By any cream bought from a shop
F
On a busy London high street
F
That looked just like any other
Bb
As it was filmed from every angle
Bb
For a voyeuristic Big Brother
C
The opening of another
C
Tesco Metro supermarket
F
Girls leaving the Body Shop
F
For the nearest Golden Arches
F
And if a horror film or snuff movie
F
Was captured on the cameras
Bb
It could be used in court as evidence
Bb
Which didn't mean much to the families
C
In a crematorium where the left side
C
Of the stereo wasn't working
Bb
For the song that played as it conveyed
C
The coffin through the curtains
[Chorus]
F
I thought the streets were paved with gold
Am
I always thought my fortune flowed
Bb
All along the River Thames
C
From Westminster to Southend
F
Into the sea
F
I thought I'd find it at the heart
Am
Of every garden and Royal Park
Bb
Where money grows on trees
C F
Beneath the moon that's made of cheese
[Verse 2]
F
Using all my cartoon superpower
F
I scaled the face of St Stephen's Tower
Bb
And looking down across my manor
Bb
Unfurled my stupid protest banner
C
The tourists watching from the wheel
C
With their camera phones and Happy Meals
F
Suspected a PR stunt
F
And secretly they hoped I'd jump
F
And break my neck but not be killed
F
On the electric fence that had just been built
Bb
If we keep the terrorists at bay
Bb
Maybe they'll just go away
C
And leave us to mount our challenge
C
To all the Americans who thought
C F
Our service could never be as lousy
F
As the service in New York
F
At fifteen minutes to the hour
F
I climbed down from St Stephen's Tower
Bb
For cigarettes and Lucozade
Bb
For the police and the fire brigade
C
Dr Samuel Johnson
C
You were very nearly right
Bb
I was tired of London
C
But I would never tire of life
[Verse 3]
F
Mighty Mouse is on his way
Am
Here I come to save the day
Bb
From the tower of Big Ben
C
Flying south across the Thames
F
Faster than the speed of sound
Am
High above the Underground
Bb
With my supermarket bag
C
Just another cartoon dad
F
In London town
