Waterboys - London Mick Chords

[Intro]
       E  Ebm Abm F#
1.2.3.4
 
[Chorus]
B                     E         B
Let's hear it for the sharp and slick
    E           B       A      B
Big-hearted guitar man, London Mick
B           E       B
Come on DJ, play my fix
B    E        B       A      B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
 
[Verse 1]
Ebm                    Dbm
I first met him in the punk rock days
       Ebm                      Dbm
He was blowing through town in a punk rock blaze
E                 Ebm       Abm
I was a Clash kid under the spell
   F#
He bought me Coca-Cola at the band's hotel
F#
Bought me Coca-Cola at the band's hotel
 
[Chorus]
B                         E      B
He aced Strummer with his killer licks
         E         B     A      B
You were my guitar hero, London Mick
B                       E       B
There was no band they couldn't lick
E       B    A      B
Then or now, London Mick
 
[Verse 2]
Ebm                    Dbm
Seven wild years came tumbling down
           Ebm                 Dbm
And I was livin' in Mick's old stomping ground
 E                                      Ebm       Abm
We shared a manager, man, and though it all went south
       F#
We saw Spinal Tap together at the picture house
F#
Spinal Tap together at the picture house
 
[Chorus]
B                         E          B
When he left the Clash he took some stick
    E         B     A      B
But he stayed cool, London Mick
B                   E       B
DJs and dreads were his sidekicks
E          B        A      B
Always an edge with London Mick
 
[Verse 3]
Ebm                    Dbm
At century's end, under a waning moon
Ebm                    Dbm
A chance encounter in a greasy spoon
 E                                Ebm      Abm
"We see each other, Man" he said, quote, unquote
        F#
He was wearin' a well-cut Crombie coat
F#
Wearin' a well-cut Crombie coat
 
 
[Chorus]
B                     E      B
Sent him flowers when he got sick
E    B        A      B
More power to London Mick
B                        E      B
What'll he do next? None can predict
E             B     A      B
Just leave it up to London Mick
 
[Verse 4]
Ebm                    Dbm
Pop stars pullin' all kinds of tricks
Ebm                    Dbm
Like so many goose-brained lunatics
E                  Ebm      Abm
If I had my choice I'd just pick
        F#
Some rock and roll from London Mick
F#
Some rock and roll from London Mick
 
 
[Chorus]
B                     E         B
Let's hear it for the sharp and slick
E           B            A      B
Big-hearted guitar man, London Mick
B           E       B
Come on DJ, play my fix
E             B       A      B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
E             B       A      B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
E             B       A      B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
