Soho lights, another night......thinking of you, 
C              D                  G                  C 
Black cat, sat on a wall, winks at me darkly 
F                              C               D                  G 
suggesting ways and means that I might win a smile

and the Policeman nods as you pass along his beat 
C                   D                           G                              C 
Sweaty feet, troubled brow we're all in the same game lady 
F                           C                 D                                G

as from your heart you bear your parts to the Gentlemen 
           C                       D 
Who, while they drool trying to keep cool 
G                               C 
Spill their scotch and water 
             F                 C                        D                   G  
But I'm not that way, I must say... I'd much prefer to see...
