Tom Paxton 
Leaving London 
9
Capo 9 

       G                Em 
With a dark and rolling sea 
        G                Em 
Between my true love and me 
       G                    Em   D    G 
I keep walking through this cold hard town 

        G               Em 
While I wait for better days 
        G              Em 
I could use a place to stay 
     G                   Em     D       G 
Or a floor where I could lay my blanket down 


[Refrão]
C                        G 
If I could beg, steal or borrow 
  C                      G   D 
A ticket on some ship or pla-ane 
C                     G 
I'd be leaving London tomorrow 
   C         D        G 
To fly to my own love again 

      G                 Em 
Up at dawn to change my shirt 
       G             Em 
And to wash away the dirt 
          G        Em  D    G 
Then it's over to American Express 

        G           Em 
Not one letter did I find 
        G               Em 
No, she didn't send one line 
         G               Em    D      G 
Though I know she has my forwarding address 




[Refrão]
C                        G 
If I could beg, steal or borrow 
  C                      G   D 
A ticket on some ship or pla-ane 
C                     G 
I'd be leaving London tomorrow 
   C         D        G 
To fly to my own love again 


     G         Em 
Last night The Troubadour 
       G                     Em 
Was so full, they barred the door 
      G               Em    D     G 
And I sang a song she knows quite well 

       G                 Em 
But it wouldn't take too long 
        G          Em 
To make up another song 
      G              Em   D   G 
For a lonesome and a last farewell 



[Refrão]
C                        G 
If I could beg, steal or borrow 
  C                      G   D 
A ticket on some ship or pla-ane 
C                     G 
I'd be leaving London tomorrow 
   C         D        G 
To fly to my own love again 
C                     G 
I'd be leaving London tomorrow 
C            D        G       
To fly to my own love again
