G                     C
Well, I got a job in the city,
G                     D
I got a girl, but she ain't pretty.
G                  C
She's got a cat that she loves so much,
G              D             G
And I can't stand the way it touches.

G                      C
I miss the way the green grass grows,
G                  D
And the smell of the rain when it blows.
G                     C
I'm feeling homesick in London town,
G              D                G
And the concrete feels like it's bearing down.

G                     C
Oh, London homesick blues,
G                   D
Got my heart in a million views.
G                    C
But the sky is so gray, and the streets are so loud,
G              D                G
In this city that never allows.
