Bb             F                    C
    Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
          Bb
Flowing into the night
          F                    C
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
            Bb
Taxi light shines so bright
       Gm    Dm           Bb    C
But I don't      need no friends
              F                C            
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
         Bb        C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
I am in paradise


                                   C          C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
Every day I look at the world from my window

But chilly, chilly is the evening time
C                  Bb  F  C
Waterloo sunset's fi__ne


             F               C
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
       Bb
Every Friday night
             F                   C
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
           Bb
I stay at home at night
       Gm    Dm         Bb    C
But I don't       feel afraid
              F                C
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
         Bb        C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
I am in paradise


                                   C          C-C-F-Em-C- Gm
Every day I look at the world from my window

But chilly, chilly is the evening time
C                  Bb  F  C
Waterloo sunset's fi__ne


             F                    C                     Bb
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
               F                   C
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
                Bb
Where they feel safe and sound
          Gm    Dm          Bb     C
And they don't      need no friends
                 F                C
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
             Bb 
They are in paradise
