Leaning On A Lampost Chords

(ver. 3)
George Formby
GUITAR INTRO:
C     G7
C     G7

INTRODUCTION:
    C            Em
I'm leaning on a lamp
         Am               G7
I know I look just like a tramp
           C         Am      F        G7      C      F/F G7
Or you may think I'm hanging round to steal a car
    C             Em
But no, I'm not a crook
           Am                  Em
And if you think that's what I look
              C       Am       D7              G      G7
I'll tell you why I'm here and what my motives are

(Tempo change)


VERSE 1:
    C            Em               Am            Em
I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
          G              G7         C
In case a certain little lady comes by
   G7     C
Oh me, oh my
  G               D7         G    G7
I hope the little lady comes by


VERSE 2:
  C                    Em
I don't know if she'll get away
    Am             Em
She doesn't always get away
    G        G7               C
But anyhow I know that she'll try
   G7     C
Oh me, oh my
  G               D7         G
I hope the little lady comes by


BRIDGE:
        G                     F    G7
There's no other girl I would wait for
    C                      Em   Am
But this one I'd break any date for
  D7                           D7   D
I won't have to ask what she's late for
    G                                   Fmin7     G7
She wouldn't leave you flat she's not a girl like that


VERSE 3:
          C          Em
Oh, she's absolutely beautiful
    Am             Em
And marvellous and wonderful
     G         G7         C
And anyone can understand why
    Fmin7        F                D7            Fmin7
I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
          C              G7          C
In case a certain little lady passes by
